Faculty Introduction

Welcome to our course!  I'm Dr. Sheila Jones and I'm looking forward to our new semester.

Course Description


Faculty Instructions: Add a general description of the course that highlights what makes this course particularly interesting or valuable from a student's perspective. You should include the course description from the catalog or BC Course Outlines. This is a good place to "market" your course.

Methods of Instruction


Faculty Instructions: The SACS principles of accreditation require that the course syllabus describes methods of instruction that are appropriate to the learning outcomes of each course and the capabilities of the students. Faculty should describe their teaching techniques, indicating their relationship to course objectives and student learning. By providing such a statement, instructors are helping students to understand their responsibilities as learners. Feel free to modify the following sample statement to reflect your specific methods of instruction and the correct number of credit hours for your course:

"This is a 3-credit hour blended course. Normally, a 3-credit hour on-campus course would meet two times each week (during a 16 week term) for a total of 3 hours per week or 48 hours per term. In this class, we will meet once a week on-campus, (Thursdays), for at least 1.5 hours, and you will engage in structured out-of-class or online activities for the remainder of the class time. These online activities will include graded discussions, graded assignments, a group project, and graded online quizzes.

Learning Outcomes


Faculty Instructions: Highlight the kinds of things that students should be able to know or do by the end of the course. You should include the general outcomes from the BC Course Outlines for this course. Be sure to include the General Course Outcomes, NOT the Unit Titles.
