POLS - MindTap
This is your online homework. The code for it comes with your POLS textbook, so long as it's a new book that you purchased.
Do no purchase your book through Amazon, it is not recommended. Dr. Huerta has put on Blackboard, the places that he recommends you purchase the book from.
Haven't purchased your book yet? That is fine! You can get a free temporary access code!!!! Please do it ASAP.
Always access MindTap through Blackboard. Do no go to the direct website.
The first MindTap (Ch 1) is a practice one and is not graded. Strongly encouraged to do Ch. 1!!!
Check his syllabus. The homework is worth 300 POINTS! That means, that if you don't do them, then the highest you can get in his class, is a C! And that's only if you're perfect in everything else.
Communication
I'm sorry that you were not able to meet Prof. Meyers! She is so wonderful!

Our First Group Activity!
Get into groups of three to four.
Make sure to introduce yourselves to each other.
On one sheet of paper, list 3-5 things that you hope seminar will help you learn about this semester. How can I help you?
Also write down any questions that you may have for me. These questions can be about Seminar class, me, or about POLS.
After about 5 minutes, we will be sharing what you came up with. So also pick a spokesperson for your group.
Homework! Woohoo!
I'm terrible with names (though good with faces).
As a way to introduce yourself to me, I want you to design a full page profile for me.
This will count as your first participation grade and will be due by next Thursday, January 25th, in Seminar.
Remember, we do not accept late work and I do not accept emailed work.
If you absolutely cannot print at home or on campus, the come let me know during office hours.
Don't have a camera or camera phone? Get someone to take your pic and have them email or text it to you. Don't know anyone? I'll take a quick photo of you. It does need a photo for full credit.
