12:40:33 Hello everyone, welcome to this course its Biomedical Ethics and my name is Philip pecorino, I am your instructor here at now so I Community College.
12:40:44 This semester, you''ll be seeing me twice a week by videos zoom meetings, but most of the work will be done will be done online by yourself in our class site, there''ll be a lot of materials available to you all online.
12:41:00 The end result will be that you''ll have a nice experience. You''ll find that the course has no surprises know quizzes and exams. It has work to be done, which I''m going to go over quickly and now so everybody understands it.
12:41:13 The course proves to be quite doable, if people have a life situation where you can schedule your time to put in nine to 12 hours each and every week of this semester, I am to 12 hours because the three credit course needs three hours for every credit
12:41:28 a week, I would be nine. One more than nine or some students will need more than nine, if you''re a high school preparation was not all that good. You''ll have difficulty with reading or some other challenge that might take a little bit little bit longer
12:41:42 but people that put in more than nine hours.
12:41:44 They all report very good outcomes. I grades, lots of haze feel be. Then there''s a big gap between those people and the ones who withdraw from the course because they can''t keep up, he didn''t have the time or stopped attending unfortunately excessive
12:42:01 absences produces and have, but you''ll see it is doable. It''s not hard at all. You just need work to do and if you do the work well.
12:42:10 There''ll be good outcomes. Once the work I''m sure you want to know and I''ll go over that right now.
12:42:15 In each and every module, mainly it''s broken up into modules each bound or one week there will be four things that you need to do the first is you need to read the textbook, it''s online it''s free I provided I did the writing and there are links in it
12:42:30 to the things I''d like you to read and there are things to view or videos contain online videos, all free.
12:42:46 The second thing you need to do every week is participate in the online discussions in the class time, is it how I take the 10 minutes you need to go in at least three days out of this seven days of the week to interact with your classmates, doing what
12:42:54 you ask the question answering question. As for help provide how to interact with them in a learning community, trying to develop that in this class we learn to learn, along with others, participate in those discussions and in each module post a question
12:43:10 of your own related to the topic of the module.
12:43:14 The third thing you need to do by the end of the module period is to submit the written assignment by 11:59pm right before midnight on Sunday.
12:43:24 Do that and things will go very well for you.
12:43:28 I will even provide examples of really good assignments, so that you''ll know what it is I''m looking for and the fourth thing. In Module seven to 14 every module and seven to 14 is a case study.
12:43:41 You can submit that case study at the same time you submit the written assignment.
12:43:46 challenges really that time on task of the instructional design for the course rewards time on task, you put time on task.
12:43:54 I''m on task of the instructional design for the course rewards time on task, you put time on task. Okay, things are going to be fine.
12:43:57 That requires time management skills. If you don''t have them hopefully you''ll practice and develop them very soon. But if you can manage your time and put it in, you''re going to end up pretty well.
12:44:08 Relax, never need to pan. Right 10 steps to get started, I lay them out below 10, that they help you learn about the course and everything required in it.
12:44:18 One of them get you familiar with the calendar that idea to print it out, check on it. Students have said it helps them to focus on what they need to do and when things are do.
12:44:28 So, remember to do that in the course calendar keep it available in some way so you can consult with it.
12:44:34 So after doing those 10 steps steps you''ll be also fine. And I look forward to working with you as you do the learning activities interacting with your classmates and with me.
12:44:45 I''m here to assist you to learn. You want a good grade, I want to see that you develop critical thinking skills. That''s what philosophy is involved with in the pattern called dialectical thinking.
12:44:56 So I''ll be watching and giving you examples. And hopefully, I have plenty of practice, and you''ll end up at the end of the course, being able to do that, not just on a topic related to the course itself but on many other questions and issues you face
12:45:10 in your life.
12:45:11 I hope to see you all soon in the virtual classroom. I''m rushing now to get done because I want to keep the video, short, that means five minutes or less than one coming up on those five minutes right now.
