Welcome to English 206, Section 1356. I am Alexandra Maeck, your instructor. Here is the basic information you need to get started.
To get online: You need three things to enter our course website:
  1. an access code
  2. an email address
  3. the course ID number:  maeck22133

To get the access code:     
    1. Go to the LACC College Bookstore and buy a package of three books (Frankenstein, Wuthering Heights, and Pride and Prejudice). This package includes the access code and directions on how to access the web site. The directions are simple. Email me if you have any problems. You can find these books in libraries and used book stores, but I strongly recommend you buy these specific texts because 1) they include wonderful resource materials we will use; 2) it’s important to be on the same page(s).
    2. If you live too far away to buy the LACC package, you can pay for the access code instead (you’ll need a major credit card). I think it’s $10 or $15. Go to this address and click on “Students – Register.” http://www.coursecompass.com/
NOTE: the books are not in the bookstore until last week of August. The web site will not be accessible until September 2. However, check the posted reading list to give you an idea of what the course consists of. You need to log in between Sept. 2 – 4.

I will be on campus Sept. 2-4 from 2 to 6 pm and Sept. 5 and 6, from 5-7 pm to answer questions and meet you. My office is located on the third floor in Jefferson Hall, Room 300, Office E. I don’t require you to meet me – only if you have questions. (however, I do require you to take your midterm and final exam on campus).

Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
