• Your classmates. Rely on one another for the
questions you have regarding the readings, the work we’re doing in class,
software we may be using, etc. You all, both individually and as a collective,
embody a vast bank of knowledge and experiences. Feel free to use Google
Hangout amongst yourselves to organize study sessions if needed.
• Your Instructor. I will do all I can to assist
you in succeeding in this course. Feel free to meet with me during my online office
hours or another scheduled time. Email is a reliable way to contact me and I
will try my best to respond in a timely manner. Keep this in mind: office hours
are not to make up for missed classes. I will instruct during class time; your
job is to be present and engaged. Office hours are reserved for additional help
and clarification.
• IT Support Desk (http://www.units.muohio.edu/mcs/suppctr/suppdesk/).
The support desk is the main point of contact for technology questions at
Miami.
• Equipment checkout at the library. The King
Library Circulation Desk checks out digital cameras and laptops to students.
The digital cameras can be checked out for a 24-hour period and students are
allowed to leave the library with the camera. Laptops can be checked out for a
three-hour period and they must be used inside the library. The Circulation
Desk also offers for sale flash drives, digital camera memory cards, blank
DVDs, and blank CDs.
• Howe (King Library) and Windate (18 Peabody) Writing
Centers. The Howe Writing Center is located on the main floor of King
Library. The Center is staffed with writing consultants from many different
academic areas. In a one-on-one workshop, a staff member will consult with you
concerning work-in-progress, final drafts, research style, and many other
aspects of writing. It is best to schedule an appointment ahead of time, but you
may also walk in on days when they have consultants available. For further
information, visit the student resources site at http://www.units.muohio.edu/cwe/studentresources/.
• If you have a learning disability, please speak to me
early in the semester so we can discuss your learning style. I am willing to
work with you to establish a plan for academic success and life learning. You
can also obtain additional information and support from the Office of Learning
Disabilities Services 513-529-8741 or The Office of Disability Resources
513-529-1541.
• The Learning Assistance Center. Provides tutoring
and other academic services, and a Learning Disabilities Program. It is located
in the Campus Avenue Building. For more information, contact the Office of
Learning Assistance at 513-529-8741 or Disability Resources at 513-529-1541.
• The Student Counseling Service. College life can be
hard and it helps to talk to a professional. Do not be offended if you come to
me with a personal problem and I refer you to this service. While I know quite
a bit about English composition and writing, I am not a counselor. Personal
problems should be treated by the people who can help you the most just as your
English class is taught by an English professional. Located in the Health
Services Center, this office provides a wide range of counseling services. For
more information, call 513-529-4634.
• Your Own Web Site/Server. Every Miami student has a
web space (called Universal Disk Space, UDS) for storing files and for
designing and publishing a website. To publish web pages on the Internet,
follow the instructions at http://www.muohio.edu/wwwsetup.
Your web page address will be http://www.users.muohio.edu/UniqueID/
(UniqueID should be replaced with your own unique ID).
• Miami University Technology Guide (http://www.units.muohio.edu/mcs/information/policies/shtml).
This is a list of MU’s policies on such matters as computer security,
responsible use of computing resources, and MU Net account policies.
