Tentative Course Calendar

This is a web based course. As such, we do not have traditional "classroom" meetings. Instead, all of our interaction will occur over the internet. The following schedule provides a guideline for assignments and lists due dates for essays and other assignments. Due dates are strictly observed and points are lost for late assignments. 

Week 1 - August 17-23

  • TEXT -Purchase text and get acquainted with course requirements and each other.
  • JOURNAL - Set up your blog. There are many options for free blogs. I have used easyjournal and blogger and know they will work well for our purposes. Instructions are found on the Journals page.
  • FORUM - Sign up for your message board account at http://cjstudents.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi. The entire forum is available to you but for this class we will be using the "Nature of Crime" category for all messages. Once this is completed, send a message to the class to introduce yourself.
  • E-MAIL -Using the e-mail program you will use throughout this class, send a message to Dr. Mentor at mentor@nmsu.edu. Use this message to offer suggestions for web site topics. Click the Web Pages link for more information.
