Welcome to home page for the online English courses taught by Dr. Peter Kim. Please read the syllabus of the respective course in which you are enrolled for specific instructions:

FALL 2010 Semester

JOUR 131-99: http://users.hfcc.edu/~pkim/JOUR131.99syllabusFall2010.pdf

ENG 246-98: http://users.hfcc.edu/~pkim/ENG246.98syllabusFall2010.pdf

ENG 246-99: http://users.hfcc.edu/~pkim/ENG246.99syllabusFall2010.pdf

The book(s) for the course is available at the college store: http://collegestore.hfcc.edu

On the first day of class, you must log in to the college’s online class management website in order to access all class materials, including handouts, directions for assignments, and due dates: http://henryford.ucompass.com. If you are not familiar with how to use UCompass, or how to login, click the link that says “Login Information” on the left hand column.  First time users of UCompass should also review the following links:
UCompass FAQ: http://www.hfcc.edu/current_students/UCompassFAQ.asp
UCompass Online Orientation: http://www2.hfcc.edu/online/orientation.htm (Please disregard the prompt to complete the survey at the end; the survey has been discontinued.)

Please review the following website to insure you understand how I want you to submit assignments: http://users.hfcc.edu/~pkim/HowtoUseUCompass.htm.

One common mistake is forgetting to check the box at the bottom of an assignment screen that indicates you would like the assignment "submitted for a grade." You must check that box; otherwise I will not receive the assignment. If you have not received a grade or feedback on an assignment within a week of submitting it, please contact me in case it was not sent properly.

You have the option to submit assignments using Microsoft Word or "rich text format" attachments through the "submit" option under each assignment on the UCompass website or through the UCompass course email. If you do not have a word processing program on your computer, you can download a free Microsoft Word compatible program at the following website: http://download.openoffice.org/

As recommended by the college IT department, once the semester begins, please only use the course email (username@henryford.ucompass.com) to communicate with the instructor and not any free email accounts like Hotmail or AOL as these are filtered by the UCompass software in order to protect the system from spam or viruses.

Prior to the start of the semester, however, please email or phone me if you have any questions about the course.

Sincerely,

Peter Kim, Ph.D.
