If you are a newly enrolled student at Sheridan College, enrolled in one of the classes listed on the left, then you are in the right place. Welcome to DansCourses! If you are a general visitor from the web then I am glad you found me. Welcome to you! This is my website not the college's. I prefer to run all my classes through my own website which gives me way more flexibility and control over the content, structure,  and the delivery methodology. You will find all of the information about your specific class, such as schedule, class materials, texts, assignments, etc., by clicking on the specific class link on the left and going to the class section of this site. Every week, at this website I will be posting information and assignments to the different class sections. It is your job, to make it a habit of visiting this site every day during the semester to get the latest news and assignments. Well, maybe not everyday but you get the picture.

If you are enrolled in a SDL (Self Directed Learning) class section, then the first thing you want to do is click on the Lab Hours link above and figure out a time to visit me in the Computer Networking Lab. The lab is located in the Griffith Memorial Building, Room 133. Please come by at your earliest convenience to discuss the class and take a tour of the lab. If you are enrolled in an Online class section then please contact me by email at your earliest convenience to introduce yourself and discuss the class. Since I don't rely on traditional textbooks, it is important this first week to make sure you purchase and gain access to the online materials. For most of you, that will involve materials from either Lynda.com or TestOut.com. You will find more information about purchasing the online materials for your class by clicking the class link on the left and reading the Week 1 Information.

Every class has an assignment the first week so don't wait to get started. Once you have carefully read the Week 1 section of your class, you may still have questions. Please contact me if you have any questions about the class or how to get started.
