This is designed to help you become familiar with course policies, procedures, and expectations.\nNow that you are in an academic program, it is time to start practicing good writing. You do not have to be perfect, but you should strive to be a clear and professional communicator. The Reading, found below, will cover:\n•\tCommunicating Online — Learning the correct way to write while attending an online class.\n•\tGeneral Guidelines to Communicating Online — Understanding \"Netiquette.\"\n•\tGeneral Class Information — Find out what day your class starts and how to get help.\nNavigation for your Class\nThis week, you will review the Syllabus (your guide to the course) and learn how to navigate and use the many features of this online classroom. This is designed to help you become familiar with course policies, procedures, and expectations.\nSuccess\nDuring this unit, you will introduce yourself to your instructor and classmates. A strong support system is one of the keys to success.\nRest assured you are not alone in this process. Your knowledgeable and talented instructor cares deeply about making the classroom experience both valuable and enjoyable for you. Do not give up. This is the first and probably the most important challenge you will meet during your time here at the University.\nBe Patient\nBe patient and give yourself the time you need to process all of this new information. Studies show that if you can make it through your first 3 weeks, you greatly increase your chances of getting that degree. This is not much time at all when you consider that the benefits of a higher education will last you the rest of your life. If you remember the reasons you began this wonderful journey, it will help to motivate you to continue. Throughout the course you will be looking at various strategies that will help you overcome obstacles and reach your goals.\nWhy Earn a Degree?\nEarning a degree can lead to multiple practical and emotional benefits. Here are some quotes from students on the benefits of having a college degree.\n“Having a degree opens doors. Without that piece of paper, your options are limited, even with the experience.”\n“I have been turned down for many jobs this year because I do not have a college degree.” “I could provide a better life for my family.”\n“I feel like I had accomplished something, and I would feel more confident.”\nAdditional Motivation\nJust in case you need additional motivation to jump in and get started, it might be helpful to also look at the monetary value of a university education.\nAccording to the U.S. Census Bureau at the United States (U.S.) Department of Labor (2018), a bachelor’s degree can be worth an extra $17,524.00 a year more than an Associate’s degree.\nCommunicating Online\nThe Do's and Don'ts of communicating online.\nWith friends and family, it is fun to use Internet slang such as smileys :) and abbreviations such as LOL (laughing aloud) but as a professional you need to consider that anything you write can be forwarded to anyone else. You have to be careful what you say, and need to be more formal in your approach to school and career.\nNow that you are in an academic program, it is time to start practicing good writing. You do not have to be perfect, but you should strive to be a clear and professional communicator\nNetiquette\nThe word “netiquette” is a combination of two words: network and etiquette.\nThere are no World Wide Web rules, and so the internet can be a pretty hectic place, but Virginia Shea (2008), the author of Netiquette, identified 10 Core Rules of Netiquette for communicating in cyberspace.\nRemember the human: This is considered the “golden rule” of online co","cbCaimuqEXO4VwSH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimuqEXO4VwSH","docx",29738,1,9,"English","en",105,"# Reading Introduction\n## Unit Overview\n## Success and Patience\n## Why Earn a Degree?\n## Additional Motivation\n## Communicating Online\n## Netiquette\n## Netiquette Do's","[{\"question\":\"What should students do during Unit 1 in the reading area?\",\"answer\":\"Students complete the reading, a challenge activity, and vocabulary work with powerful words for vocabulary building.
