Welcome to this course!

We are delighted to be a part of your continuing education. This course will provide you with a variety
of tools and learning opportunities, to include video lectures, readings, assessments, peer review(s), and
an opportunity to contribute to the Coursera learning community in the discussion forums.

Course Structure
In each of the lesson sections, you’ll find learning objectives, lecture videos, readings, activities, and an
opportunity to test your knowledge in quiz format. In some of the module sections you’ll also work on
assignments and grade the work of your peers. A peer-review assignment is one where you and your
fellow learners have an opportunity to review and grade each other’s work. We’ll dive more into peer
reviews later on in this course.

Course Resources
When navigating the course, you can find available course resources under each of the lecture videos in
a section labeled “Downloads” – here you can download the lecture video, view transcripts, PDFs of
the lecture slides, and find additional readings or files. (Note: If you are using a mobile device,
resources for that lecture can be found in “Attachments” or “Assets” under the lecture videos.)

Learner Support
If you run into any issues during this course, learner support is available to all Coursera students. The
link for Coursera’s Learner support is also included below. The Help Center/Learner Support includes
topics such as account setup, payments, enrollment questions, and troubleshooting common problems.

Course Issues
If you find any content issues, be sure to let the course staff know by flagging the lecture, assignment,
reading, or quiz and this will inform us of where these issues occur. Here is the link for more
information on how to Flag an Issue - it is also listed below.

Deadlines
One of the great things about Coursera courses is that they are self-paced. The course dates are based
on the average time it takes to complete a course. However, if you need additional time to complete a
course you can reset your deadlines with no penalties. More information on resetting deadlines can be
found here: Assignment Deadlines

Discussion Forums
Need additional help during your course session? Be sure to utilize the discussion forums and interact
with your fellow peers. In this area, you can ask questions or search for similar issues that have already
been posted in the forums. Learner support is also a great place to find answers, but specific course
content questions can typically be found and answered in the discussion forums. This is also a great
place to post your Coursera assignment link if additional peer reviews are needed. Here is a link with
more information on the discussion forums: Discussion Forums

Coursera's Honor Code


Because of the self-paced nature of Coursera courses, this is an excellent opportunity to show
commitment to your work and the work of your peers through academic integrity. Be sure to read the
Coursera guidelines and the Coursera Honor Code here: Coursera Honor Code
We look forward to having you in this course. Happy learning!

-The UC Davis Coursera Team
