From the syllabus:  Accessibility Services Accommodations NICC views disability as an important aspect of diversity, and is committed to providing equitable access to learning opportunities for all students. Accessibility Services is the campus office that collaborates with students who have disabilities to provide and/or arrange reasonable accommodations.  If you have, or think you have, a disability in any area such as, mental health, attention, learning, chronic health, sensory, or physical, please contact the Accessibility Services office on your campus to arrange a confidential discussion regarding equitable access and reasonable accommodations.   Students with short-term disabilities, such as a broken arm, concussion, surgery, etc., can often work with instructors to minimize classroom barriers. In situations where additional assistance is needed, students should contact the Accessibility Services office.  If you are registered with Accessibility Services and have a disability accommodation letter dated for this semester, please contact your instructor early in the semester to review how the accommodations will be applied in the course.   For additional information or to apply for accommodations, please visit the Accessibility Services website and the Accessibility Services Student Handbook If you are registered with Accessibility Services and have questions or concerns about your accommodations please contact Jennifer Wood. Familiarize yourself with the Accommodation Policy and persons at NICC in the Accessibility Services Office. Identifying the need for services early is important, so please communicate with the instructor as soon as possible. Will you be utilizing Accessibility Services and requesting accommodations for this course this semester?

This is a long answer/essay style question that requires a student to type in their words to answer.  Students may not copy/paste from other sources; they must complete the answer in their own words.  Students are encouraged to practice writing out objectives and explanations throughout the unit so they don’t struggle to “find the words” at exam time.   If a written question is worth 3 points, a student must provide at least three sentences and pieces of content in their answer.  Look to utilize vocabulary, concepts, descriptions and detail in your answer.  Don’t worry about sounding “perfect” or like the “textbook” – I want you to explain to me how and what you understand. You can come back to this and all question types within your exam attempt to add, delete or edit your answer. Question to Answer Below:  A. What techniques, tools and behaviors will you utilize day to day to better understand the terms and concepts of this course? Don’t say “I’m going to study” – you need to tell me what that involves for you. B. Do you have any questions for me, your instructor? Questions can be about the course, NICC resources, technology, or anything you need to know. Please know that I am here for those questions.  No question is too big or too small, you are NEVER bothering me with a question.
