  7. System Requirements • AS a STUDENT, you are strongly encouraged to use DSL internet hook-up rather than Dial-Up. Any technical problems in your course submissions that are the result of Dial-Up limitations are not the professor’s fault, and NO exceptions will be made by the professor concerning student crises. • If you foresee any problems, then you might want to perform important tasks (i.e., quizzes) in the campus computer labs, or on personal computers that you are confident will support your technical needs. • For technical assistance, call IVC Help Desk at (949) 451-5696. This number is only available M - F, 8:00 am to 7:00 PM.

  8. Course Communication • All general questions concerning the course should be directed through the following methods: • Instructor Email: sdavies@ivc.edu • Instructor Office Phone (during posted office hours): 949-451-5332 ….. I will NOT return calls from voicemail messages! • Instructor Office Hours: Only opportunity for In-person meetings. This should be the option when all the other avenues (email & phone) have been exhausted. • Instructor-initiated comments OR instructor’s response to student initiated comments will be conducted through your IVC email address. I will not respond to personal email. Therefore it is VITAL that you check your IVC email on a daily basis!

  9. Course Communication (Cont.) • Remember to Check your IVC email account every day for any course correspondence. • You may forward your IVC email to your personal account, BUT CLEARLY understand that any communication problems that arise from this action DO NOT constitute a valid excuse for any late submissions of your required work. I will only respond to emails having the IVC address.
