the Information tab or through the email listed in the syllabus.

https://www.tsc.edu/division-of-student-services/it-help-desk
• Short help videos are available for you on the TSC website and in the course
• It will be helpful for you to take some time and browse through some of the information
before we get started.
Need Technology?
• You will receive a form through your English class that needs to be signed by your
parents. When returned, you will be issued your device.
• I highly recommend that you have a laptop or Chromebook Students have had difficulty
with using a phone or tablet for completing and submitting assignments and in taking
quizzes since you need the app to access Canvas from a phone or tablet. Although great
for getting notifications, reminders and communication, the Canvas app can get a bit
glitchy when it comes to submitting assignments and taking quizzes.
• We will only use the laptops for writing or test taking in class. The lecture information
will be projected during class.
