Dr. Silagyi-Rebovich uses web environments to enhance the nutrition courses she teaches. 

NUTR 221-Internet is an almost asynchronous courses.  Almost asynchronous course may be described as "hybrid" courses meaning the professor may require several on-campus meetings for orientation, examinations and in some cases, presentations.  The nutrition internet-based courses are intended to meet the needs of students who can come to campus periodically during the academic term.

To determine your readiness for a web-based course, read and reflect on the student information at http://www.winthrop.edu/webct/wctstudents.htm.  The instructor of record is not the technology expert.  Course management is based upon the assumption that students have/are able to acquire the
technology knowledge and skill needed to successfully complete a web-based course.

All students must activate and use their Winthrop email accounts by the first day of the semester.  Students who do not attend mandatory on-campus orientation or log into course web sites by the time of the mandatory orientation will be administratively dropped from the course.  The course list serve is automatically generated in the first week of the academic term.  Students are responsible for activating  student email accounts by the FIRST DAY OF THE ACADEMIC TERM in order to ensure they are
included in the class list serve.

Students must know how to use Microsoft Word and Excel (or transform files from other software to doc or xls files).  Students will automatically earn a grade of zero on work transmitted in any other format.

Students are responsible for reading, understanding and following through with hardware and software requirements as specified by Winthrop's WebCT server.  Dr. Silagyi-Rebovich is not a technology support staff person and will not assist students with hardware/software problems, concerns, questions, issues.  Students are accountable for online testing instructions (explained and demonstrated during orientation) and are admonished to CAREFULLY read and UNDERSTAND online testing instructions.
