How to Get the Most Out of this Course
Read below to find out how you can get more out of this course. Remember, you are not alone. You have a professor that is here to help you.
Communication is the key. If I don't know you are having a problem and what it is then I won't know how to help you. Send me an email to richard.gosselin@hccs.edu with a subject line that matches what you've written in the body of the email.
Call
Some questions just can't be easily answered via email and require interaction between the student and the professor. I am very accessible via cell phone at 832-257-2592. If you don't reach me right away, then just hang up and send me a text message and I'll get back with you. Voice mail takes too long to listen to and is inefficient.
Video Reply
Sometimes, words aren't enough. Students often want to see something explained. If you tell me which problem you are working on or you send me a screen shot I will design a custom video just for you and send you the link via Jing. By the way, if you want to send me a short video with a question you can do that too! Jing is free and is easy to use.
What Else Can You Do?
Complete the "My Practice Reviews". These are designed especially for you based on how you did on the homework assignments. Each student gets a completely different practice review that is based on their own strengths and weaknesses. You can find "My Practice Reviews" on one of the tabs in the ribbon across the top of the home page of Aplia.
