12:31:10 Hello my name is Philip pecorino. And this is a course in medical ethics.
12:31:14 And I want to, in addition to saying welcome everyone.
12:31:18 Let you know there''s nothing to be concerned about in terms of like how horrible and experienced this might be online relax, it will turn out well the course is very doable.
12:31:31 We''ve had a high percentage of students who finish this course will receive a few receive these.
12:31:38 Unfortunately there''s a gap between those and then there is the number of students who withdraw from the course, or receive an F because they just stopped attending.
12:31:48 And they have excessive absences by that is their life situation they were not able to put into time. The course requires to do well. This is a course whose instructional design is based on people putting time on test.
12:32:06 The learning activities. There are no exam, there are no quizzes no surprises. Just the work that''s to be done, each and every week.
12:32:14 The courses broken up into things cool modules. And so in each module is a certain amount of work to do.
12:32:21 It takes about nine to 12 hours per week. To do this, it''s a three credit course, the state says, For every credit three hours a week so that''s nine hours a week.
12:32:32 By the way, say nine to 12. There are some folks for whom their high schools didn''t prepare them that well for college level work, where they have particular struggles or challenges with reading.
12:32:44 But if you are a good reader if you''re already in college classes and succeeded. You should do very well in this course. I''m on test to the word I mentioned work several times it''s the key to success.
12:32:58 What is that work.
12:33:01 Well, we''re going to spend the nine to 12 hours on his work that will begin with reading the textbook, it''s free it''s online doesn''t cost you a thing.
12:33:12 There''s words in there to be read there are links in there where you read other materials, other than what I have provided you with, or even links to things for you to see viewing.
12:33:23 The second thing you need to do in each and every week is participate in the discussions in the class site.
12:33:29 This is how I take the tenants, you need to go in at least three days minimum so you can interact with your classmates, doing what in each and every discussion forum.
12:33:41 You need to respond to a question or ask a question, and ask for help or offer help to a class me.
12:33:47 I want to see interaction in a learning community and in each module. Each student will post a question or topic for the class to go over, which is related to the topic of that module.
12:34:00 So first read the text. Second, attend class by participating in discussions. Third at the end of every module is a written assignment. Turn that in on time, please.
12:34:12 The 59 Pm Sunday nights, and over the module.
12:34:16 And for this course and medical ethics in module seven to 14.
12:34:20 There is a case study also to be submitted at the same time as the written assignment. That''s it. Those are the tests the challenge is putting time aside to get that done, called time management.
12:34:33 If you''re good at doing that. This course is going to go very well. If you''re not, hopefully quickly you''ll develop those skills.
12:34:42 There''s a course calendar, you should print out people that have said is very helpful to keep people kind of focused on what they have to do and when they have to do it and what to do and when it''s do.
12:34:52 As for your next steps right now. Again, relax, don''t panic.
12:35:06 There are 10 steps to get started in this course you go through them. Those things are there for you to learn about the course and its requirements it''s module zero in the first days is no rating for it, no credit for it.
12:35:11 That is a very important to learn about the course.
12:35:13 I look forward to working with you all, and assisting you the learning through the learning activities. And for me, it doesn''t mean you get a good grade which is important you want that.
12:35:23 But it means you''re developing your critical thinking skills with Jenna philosophy class means the dialectical method of thinking, they''ll be a lot of material on it.
12:35:32 But ways in which you can practice doing at the end of the course hopefully you''ll have this technique this skill that you can employ on other topics then come up in this course.
12:35:42 I hope to see you will soon in the virtual classroom, be working with you this semester and see lots of successful outcome.
