I check this email address regularly; however, if there is an emergency, please call the Social Science Department. I am no longer in the Syracuse area, so I do not keep an office on campus.

I am teaching all courses online through the SUNY Learning Network. ALL of my courses are located on the SLN ANGEL server (NOT the OCC ANGEL server!).

Instructions on how to access your SLN ANGEL online course for Spring 2008: click here

Follow directions for “Students in SLN ANGEL.”

You must be enrolled at OCC to take OCC online classes. Here is the link to the main website for Onondaga Community College: http://www.sunyocc.edu/

Please do not ask for admission into a course section if it is full—I receive many requests from students with good reasons, but there is not enough room to accommodate everyone who wants to add a course. Please keep trying to enroll via WebAccess: https://occweb.sunyocc.edu/WebAdvisor/WebAdvisor?&TOKENIDX=9177056312&TYPE=M&PID=CORE-WBMAIN

This procedure ensures fairness to all students. Check the Academic Calendar for the last day to add a course:

HIS 103 & 104 online are reading and writing intensive courses! OCC students may want to take ENG 103 before enrolling in HIS 103 or HIS 104. Be prepared to set aside enough time to complete all assignments on time. Spring 2008 courses will taught on a 14 week schedule; Summer 2008 will offer 10 week and 5 week sessions. ALL sections cover an entire semester’s worth of work! Read everything, follow directions, and note all deadlines. Please ask me if you need any help!

If you are new to online learning, you will want to activate your SLN account and complete the SLN “Orientation to ANGEL” before your class begins. After the “go live” date, a few days prior to the official start of the class, you can access your course and look around. You should be ready to start course work on the first official day, and plan to log on regularly. Details for each course will be available on the SLN ANGEL site once the course opens. At that time you will communicate with me through SLN ANGEL Course Mail, not by email.

I look forward to meeting you in class! Textbook information follows. You will need to purchase your textbooks as soon as possible. You can use the OCC Bookstore or an online retailer:

http://students.sunyocc.edu/academics.aspx?title=832&id=1532

You will not be successful in an online course without your assigned textbooks. You are expected to have your books and be ready to submit all of your assignments on time.

Best wishes,

Dr. Gaddis : )
