Introduction
Hi…my name is Jason Oliver and I’ll be your instructor for the ARCHT-100 / ID-100 Careers in Architecture, Interior Design, and Related Fields course. I am a licensed California Architect, Chair of the COC Architecture & Interior Design program and a LEED Accredited Professional with specialty in Building Design
& Construction (LEED AP BD&C).
…. many students register for online courses believing they will be easier or require less time than a traditional face-to-face class. Online courses sometimes require a greater commitment of your time & focus than a traditional course and while you will definitely benefit by not having to travel to campus for specific meeting times, the discipline and responsibility necessary for completing the course is entirely on your shoulders (…you will need to schedule time every week for viewing the lectures and completing the required homework & exams on-time). Ok… so let’s learn more about these exciting professions!
Course Description
Surveys careers in Architecture, Interior Design and related fields, including degree requirements, transfer institutions, income, and employment opportunities.
What to Expect in this Course
This class will utilize the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) to complete our course requirements including discussions, grades, and other course activities (note that only students registered for the course will have access to the course on Canvas). Please refer to the Canvas Login Page for the most up to date Canvas login and support information and log into Canvas by visiting https://coc.instructure.com/login/canvas on the first scheduled date of our course. If you have not used Canvas before, please take time to review the Canvas tutorial so that you are familiar with the interface prior to the beginning of class. For assistance with Canvas please call 661-362-3344 or direct your question(s) via e-mail to cvsupport@canyons.edu. Note that you should be computer literate, with at least basic knowledge of Internet navigation and email procedures since the college can only provide minimal technological support. COC also provides students with an email account for all college business and communication; please go to https://www.canyons.edu/studentservices/admissions/students/email.php to set up your student email account. In order to comply with FERPA privacy requirements, correspondence with the college not coming from your student email account will be disregarded. I will be sending out announcements through the Canvas site and you may miss important information if you forget to check your COC student email. Similarly, certain e-mail providers either block or forward emails automatically to a junk mail folder, so please double check that course email communications are not in your spam folder.
