General Education Goals/Objectives:
Relationship to Campus Theme:
In this course, we will use technology to help you discover
your true nature and push beyond what you thought you knew about yourself to find a career
that fits you.
Classroom Policies:
If you did not show up for work 3 times without explanation or
forewarning, you would be fired. This course is to help you become prepared for the world of
work. You will drop one letter grade if you have 3 unexcused absences. Attendance is vital to
this class for you to succeed.
Student Email Policy
:
Dakota College at Bottineau is increasingly dependent upon email as an official form of
communication. A student’s campus-assigned email address will be the only one
recognized by the campus for official mailings. The liability for missing or not acting
upon important information conveyed via campus email rests with the student.
