I am excited that our Fall course will start in October 2014. I hope you find the course convenient and rewarding. The complete schedule is at the bottom of the page. Please see below some general details about this course.
• We will be using a website called Wiziq for our virtual classroom. This is where our class will take place and where students will see the whiteboard and the documents being displayed. Also, Wiziq will be used for audio and video so the students can see and hear me while I can see and hear them. Kindly sign up and create a free account at www.wiziq.com.
B. Technical Requirements:
• You will need:
1. A good internet connection. 2. A computer with an internet browser (such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, etc.) 3. A webcam and microphone.
C. Missed Classses:
• Any class you must miss can be recorded for you to watch later. However, as not all classes are recorded, please let us know in advance that you will miss a class so we can be sure to record it for you. No refunds will be given for missed classes.
D. Change in Class Schedule or Cancellation:
• In the rare event that I must move a class, you will have the option to attend the class at the new date and time or to watch a recording of the class. If the new date and time is inconvenient for you and you choose to watch the recording instead of attending that class, you will be refunded the value of the fee for this class. If you choose to attend the class at the newly set date and time, you will NOT be refunded.
• In the unlikely event that I must cancel a class (and not offer an alternative), you will be refunded for that class.
E. Payment:
• Payment is due in advance every six classes. For a traditional 12 class course, the first payment should be completed at least 3 days before the first class. The second payment is due 3 days before the seventh class.
• The current hourly rates are:
In a group of 4 or more: $25 per hour
In a group of 2 or 3: $40 per hour
Private (one on one): $50 per hour
• Currently, the number of registered students in this group is 4 or more ($25 per hour). However, if some students decide not to begin the course and cause the group to go down to 2 or 3 students before the first class, you will be given the option to continue at the higher rate ($40 per hour) or to unregister and receive a refund for your payment.
• If you decide to stop taking the classes any time during the course, you will NOT be refunded; however, you will have access to class recordings of the classes you paid for and did not attend.
F. Class Schedule:
• The course comprises 12 classes. Each class is 2 hours long. • Classes will usually meet on Saturday and / or Sunday afternoons or evenings. • Exact dates and times for this course are below. • The course will be divided as follows: 1. 5 Classes of Math review and practice 2. 3 Classes of Writing review and practice (Math & Writing) 3. 1 Class: Full length BCA trial exam 4. 3 Classes of Math & Writing practice
Please note that this list is not necessarily in order. Also, the content distribution may be altered any time during the course to the student’s benefit.
We usually have a 30 minute trial class before the first class to make sure that all students can access Wiziq properly. This will NOT be a prep class. Once a student is able to access the classroom properly, he or she can log off. This class is scheduled for Sunday 10/11/2014 at 7 PM.
G. Class Schedule: • The course comprises 12 classes. Each class is 2 hours long. • Classes will meet from 7 PM to 9 PM * on the following days:
* The Trial Class will be on Sunday 10/11/2014 at 7 PM and will be approximately 30 minutes long. In this class we will go over the course structure and ensure that all students can access the virtual classroom properly.
The schedule is distributed in a way that will enable the students to finish the major portion of instruction early and allow more time for practice. The weeks in between some classes will be useful for students to work on longer homework and complete online tests that will help us in our final few classes.
Please feel free to send me any questions you have. Looking forward to helping you ace the BCA test in 2015.
