==The Golden Rules==
{{Large|Welcome!}}
{{Main|How to Do Well in My Class}}
These, then are the three golden rules for success in my class. I think you will find them useful in all of your college courses.


# Learn with enthusiasm.
{{dc|E}}verything you need to get started this semester will be linked off of this page and under the tabs above. To get back here at any time, use the “For Students” menu in the bar at the top of the page. If you need to [[Contact|contact me]] or make a Zoom appointment, then select “Contact Me” in the “About” menu; you can also do this in the bar at the bottom of the page by clicking “Make an Appointment.” Do '''not''' use [[D2L]] email as I do not use that system.
# Do all of the assigned work on time and to the best of your ability.
# Support everything you write with specific evidence.

{{Guides}}
No matter what class you’re taking this semester or what you’ve taken previously, you might need some refreshers. These two pages are designed to get you up to speed quickly.
{{div col|colwidth=20em}}
* [[Humanities Basics]]
* [[Online Basics]]
{{div col end}}


The best place to find answers is your course syllabus, linked above. However, you might need additional information even after reading your syllabus carefully. Try:
{{notice|You can now [https://calendly.com/grlucas/15min schedule a Zoom meeting] with me.}}


* [[Student FAQ]] answers some general questions students often ask.
For '''course-specific''' information, see [[Current Courses]] for syllabi and the [[Forum]] for daily feedback and discussion. You may schedule an appointment with me at any time via [[Zoom]]. Please read your course syllabus carefully, as it will contain all of the information you need to complete the class. I recommend opening all links in new tabs ({{key press|CMD|click}} on a Mac; {{key press|CRTL|click}} on Windows and Linux) to keep things organized. I have tried very hard to keep all information orderly and logical; if you get confused, please let me know specifically what confused you, so I can fix it quickly.


==Resources==
Have questions? Find guidance under [[Student Resources]] and answers in the [[Student FAQ|frequently asked questions]]. You might also want to read [[The Golden Rules]].
The following resources are meant to help you succeed. Some may be assigned to your particular class. All of the resources below are also on the navigation box to the right, “Resources and Guides for Students,” and this box appears on every page for your convenience.


===Policies===
