WELCOME TO CLASS
Welcome to class . For many of you, this may be your first online (on the Internet) course, so we'll use part of this class to discuss the course, get acquainted with a few simple computer operations, and poke around a little to see how things will work. If you are not a computer whiz, don't worry -- you won't need to be. You are welcome to contact the instructor at any time.
A) WHY ON LINE
The advantages of the online format are numerous. One is the "learn anywhere anytime" theory. You may be in Hawaii on vacation or working on the North Slope, but you can continue your studies. The online format also offers and encourages online communications with classmates and staff members. For the students that need courses that are not offered locally, online courses open new opportunities for education/training to make career changes that may not have been there previously . You can choose to print the course if your learning style includes highlighting and making notes on the papers. Students now can work where they are most comfortable and at the most convenient times. Learning as we have known it has changed and the opportunities are endless. The classroom has no walls or boundaries.

B) PURPOSE AND ORGANIZATION
This is a no-prerequisite first course in mining and it is a required course in the Mining Program through the University of Alaska. Although it is a requirement for the ... Program, it is open for anyone interested in mining. Reading, research and practical projects are major components of the course. Although this course bears the AMIT title, it calls to the history buff, the rock hound, the prospector, the heavy equipment operator, the economist as well as the miner.
The course is a three-credit course that on campus would require five hours of in-class work and maybe about three hours outside of class on study and other activities each week over a 16 week semester. Students taking the on-line course should plan on the same eight hours a week on the course. Objectives are listed for each course.
The course is divided in 15 different subjects ranging from the history to the reclamation of mining. Some lessons will take longer that others but on average it works out to be a lesson/week per topic.

F). NOTE ABOUT YOU AND THIS COURSE
Students learn best in quite different ways. One of the advantages
of the online format of the course is that it allows students
to approach the course in ways that suit their personal styles
and preferences. In classrooms, instructors are inclined to teach
either as they themselves were taught, or as they think "the
average student" prefers. Online, all of the instructor-presented
class material is laid out at once, and students can do with
it whatever they prefer in order to learn in as personal and
unique a fashion as possible.
Online learning, you will find, is quite different than classroom learning. It requires different attitudes, responsibilities, and communication skills. Contact the instructor if you have difficulties.

GENERAL GRADING POLICIES
Except in cases of actual error, final grades are permanent.
The last day to withdraw from the course is WHEN.
Final "I" grades will not be permitted except
in cases of prolonged, continuous, and excused absences in the
latter half of the course. Under no circumstances will an "I"
grade be given when more than half of the coursework has not
been completed.
Final "N" grades will be given only in very rare and
exceptional cases. An "N" will never be given
simply to replace a grade that you would prefer not to receive.
