Both sections of PSYC 21 online are full with full waiting lists. If a spot becomes available I will be adding students from the current waiting lists only. At this point, I cannot add students to the waiting lists for PSYC 21.
Information about Psychology 21 (Spring 2012):
For currently registered students:
The orientation for Psyc 21 is totally online, and you will therefore not need to report to an in-person orientation on campus. You will not be able to access the course, including the online orientation, until the first day of classes for the Spring semester (January 17, 2012). You will receive log-in instructions via your CCSF Gmail account (or whatever email account you provided during registration) a few days before the semester begins. These instructions will direct you to the log in page and provide detailed information about logging in. You will then need to wait until the first day of classes to log in and begin your orientation. There are no required on-campus meetings for Psyc 21, including for exams.
If you do not wish to use your CCSF Gmail account, please be sure to forward your CCSF Gmail to your preferred email address. If you do not do this and you do not check your CCSF Gmail account, you will not receive the information you need to log in the course. If you have not yet set up your CCSF Gmail account and you would like to, please visit the Email Setup page for information to help you do this.
There is a required textbook for the course and one optional supplement. You can see the entire syllabus, including textbook information, for the Spring 2012 semester by selection the appropriate section number link in the above table.
Information about adding Psyc 21:
If the class is full when you attempt to register for it, you can try to register for the other section of Psyc 21 Online. If both are full, then I suggest that you register for the waiting list for one or both sections. If there is a spot on the waiting list you will be offered that option during the registration process.
Getting on the waiting list is the only way to possibly be added to the class once the class is full; I do not keep a separate waiting list beyond the official lists for each section of Psyc 21. If the waiting lists are full, I recommend that you check back daily as people do drop off the list for various reasons.
Once classes begin I add people, as openings come up, in the order they appear on the waiting list. For online courses, students are not added according to registration date, but by the order in which they appear on the waiting list.
Please be rest assured that during the add/drop period I am very diligent about dropping people who are not participating and adding people from my waitlists. I know the course is very important for each person on the list, and I work hard to fill openings as soon as possible. If I can add you, I will contact you via your CCSF Gmail account or the email account you have provided the college, so be sure to check that email account regularly and/or have those emails forwarded to your preferred email address.
Waitlist FAQ will explain waitlists at CCSF in more detail. Please visit this page if you have further questions.
If you have never taken an online course before, you should be aware that it requires a great deal of self-motivation and initiative, as well as excellent organizational, time management, and study skills.
Are you ready to take an online course? Take a short self evaluation to help you decide.
Finally, I recommend that you also visit CCSF's Distance Learning website to prepare for your online learning experience. This site has an incredible number of helpful resources and lots of information for you to read before class starts, especially if you are new to online learning.
