	Interactive Syllabus Course Modules: Online Community Background Information Basic Web Searching Managing Resources Advanced Web Searching Comprehensive Web Search Strategies Course Project Assessment Logbook	Online Grade Form Submission - 4.23.11 Effective immediately, the University is recommending at all course participants utilize the online Submit Grade Form option on the University website upon completion of the course. Utilizing this option will expedite grade processing. See the Course Completion instructions for details. Course Completion Instructions Course Email Address Changed - 1.17.11 Effective immediately, I am changing my primary course email address to bobjost@gmail.com Why? My previous email address(es) have been publicly visible on the web for several years and have been increasingly and relentlessly targeted by spammers (over 18,000 junk email messages in 2010!). I have been testing various filtering alternatives for the past several months and have found that Gmail currently offers the most robust spam filters which will (hopefully...) identify and eliminate most of that junk email. This change should be not cause any difficulties for you, the course participant. I will continue to monitor and receive email sent to my previously used address but will now respond from my gmail address. Please adjust your address book entries to my new gmail address at your earliest convenience. Bob 1.17.11 Toolkit Update All of the links in the Toolkit collection on the course web site have been verified and/or updated. Dead links have been removed and several new search tools, web resources and background readings have been added. You may need to click the refresh/reload button on your web browser to see the changes. Instructor's "Office Hours" During the school year, I teach this course outside my duty day with the local school district, I typically respond to course email correspondence early in the morning and in the late afternoon and evening hours. I will acknowledge the receipt of assignments that you have sent within 24 hours. You do not need to wait for my response before moving on to the next assignments. I will make every effort to review the logbooks and projects that have arrived on a day-to-day basis. I will sign off and submit the grade forms to the Center for Professional Development at Fresno Pacific University within 24 hours of receipt. I will notify you via email when your grade has been submitted. How Soon Can I Get My Grade? The University processes grades on a daily basis and you can expect to receive your official grade report within 5-10 working days after I have submitted the grade. If that is not quick enough to meet a looming deadline, it is possible to request a rush transcript as soon as the grade has been entered into the University computer system. It is always a good idea to call the office at 1-800-372-5505 to confirm that your grade has been entered into the computer system before contacting the registrar's office. http://fresno.edu/registrar/transcripts/ University privacy policies do not permit instructors to issue "verification of course completion" letters to your school district. You will need to contact the Center for Professional Development office directly if you need that service. Call the office at 1-800-372-5505.
