Use of Technology

If home access is not possible, arrangements can be made to use a computer regularly on campus in order to complete the work. Student computer labs are available all over campus, i.e. bioethics, and the library , but schedules do vary. A great deal of work will be done online, and not having access to a computer will not be an excuse for incomplete or late assignments.

Technology problems are also not an excuse for work that is late or missing. Students need to get into the habit of completing assignments for this course well before the due date to allow time for dealing with technology problems. Expect that at some time, the network will be down, computers will malfunction, or some other small catastrophe will occur. If students are prepared ahead of time, they can go to their alternative plan, i.e. a friends house who has an internet connected computer, a coffee shop or store with wi-fi access(take your laptop) or a Kinkos which allows for computer rental by the hour..The choice is up to the student, but students are encouraged to always have a technology backup plan.
