Instructor-student interaction

This course will have the following instructor-initiated interaction between the Dr Hollier and students:

• On-campus (in-class) courses:
• Dr Hollier will interact with students during the scheduled class times. If you have questions, please ask them during this time.
• Students have the opportunity to submit questions and/or topics to review on the in-class discussions submission at the end of each class. Dr Hollier will respond to questions from in-class discussion submissions the following class.
• Dr Hollier will interact with students by providing specific comments, when appropriate (if the score is not 100%), for each student on their written responses for lecture tests for lecture courses.
• Dr Hollier will interact with students by providing specific comments, when appropriate (if the score is not 100%), for each student on lab reports for laboratory courses.

• Online courses:
• Dr Hollier will interact with students through weekly instructor-initiated discussions within iCollege. These will require students to respond to Dr Hollier twice within that week (see the “weekly instructor-initiated discussions” section of this syllabus).
• Dr Hollier will interact with students by providing specific comments for each student on their written responses for lecture tests for lecture courses.
• Dr Hollier will interact with students by contacting them each week if their grades suggest they will not pass the course. The contact will be initiated via email within iCollege and the student will be asked to visit tutoring hours or arrange a time that is mutually agreeable to both of us if the student cannot make any of the regular tutoring times to discuss their progress. The online Department may also contact students each week who are not receiving a passing grade.

All students have the following as optional ways to interact with Dr Hollier:

• Attending regularly scheduled tutoring and advising times as listed in the syllabus and schedule. The times, days, and locations are listed on the first page of the syllabus and at the top of the class schedule.
• Emailing Dr Hollier within iCollege. Emails sent to Dr Hollier’s GSU email address may not be received by Dr Hollier in a timely manner, or potentially at all. The GSU email system uses spam filtering, clutter control, and quarantine systems that, individually or combined together, result in many emails being withheld and only discovered later when Dr Hollier receives the notification of what is present in each location. Emails sent within iCollege are checked regularly (each business day) and you can expect a timely response.
• Talking to Dr Hollier before or after class for on-campus (in-class) courses.

Phone calls: To talk to Dr Hollier on the phone, you must make prior arrangements with Dr Hollier for a specific date and time. The phone number listed in this syllabus is Dr Hollier’s office phone number and it does not accept text messages. Dr Hollier will not be in his office outside of regularly scheduled tutoring hours without prior arrangements being made. Dr Hollier will NOT phone a student from his home or cell phone. Therefore, to talk on the phone, you have to arrange with Dr Hollier so he can be in his office to use his office phone.
