Ron Bekey's Class information What can I do if the class is full? Can I get in? Here is what to do: First, look over the Syllabus in the link below, and make sure that you really want to take the class. Then put yourself on the "official" waiting list. This list is found in the same place where you register for classes. You can use MyPCC: http://my.pcc.edu .  It is very common for students to drop the week before class and during the first week after people re-arrange their schedules. When a space opens, students on the waiting list are automatically transferred into the class in the order they are on the waiting list. I will add students until the end of the first week. How do "Distance Learning" classes work? For information on Distance Learning classes, including login information and computer requirements, go to: http://www.distance.pcc.edu If this is your first Distance Learning class, or if you have not used Desire2Learn before, I highly recommend the Orientation at: http://www.distance.pcc.edu/orientation/index.cfm What is a "Hybrid" class? My "hybrid" classes meet fewer hours than a standard campus class. The assignments may be started in class, but they will need to be completed on your own time, using your own computer or one of the PCC computer labs, much like in a Distance Learning class. Class time is used to provide a "lecture" on the topic for the coming week, to answer questions from students, and to provide hands-on help with anything you like from the previous assignment. You will need to commit to coming to class for the hours listed in the schedule if you choose this option. Note: The syllabi posted below may be changed before the term begins. If you print any of these syllabi before a term begins, please remember to print a new one after the class begins and throw away the old one. My classes Note: You can use the links below anytime, but you will not be able to log into the main web sites of these classes until the first day of class. For Distance sections, the first day of class is the first day of the term. For Hybrid sections, the first day of class is the date of the first class meeting.
