I saw his flyer and he's creepy. Anyone else think he should be told to leave how about the state? He was in the newspaper back in January as a homeless pandhandler what is with this school?

Have you heard about the admin's recent proposal to eliminate the Visual Arts / Digital Media programs altogether? These programs prepare students for careers in graphic design, web design, television production, and much, much more. Something doesn't sit right considering that these students account for 10% of the college's total enrollment. There are over 300 students enrolled in these programs! Why on Earth would the President propose such a thing?

Lot's of documentation available regarding this, if interested, please send along an email address to contact you directly.

1. Go to class.daytonastate.edu.
2. Enter your user name as first initial, last name, last three digits of student ID. Mine is rthripp658, for example.
3. Enter your password. I think this is your Falconmail password. Use the Forgot Password link if you need to, and the system will email your password to your Falconmail account.

And to log in to your Falconnet account, click the "Falconnet" button at the top of the daytonastate.edu home page, log-in with your Student ID and password as birth date (081791, for example), click the big "Check Email" button toward the top-right, click "Continue...", and finally, click "Inbox." Too many steps, I know.

Once you're in at class.daytonastate.edu, there are even more steps. Under "My Courses," you may have to click the little plus sign to the right of "FA08" (for Fall 2008) to get your course list to appear. Then, click the course you want to go to in the list. Then you're at the course home page, where everything happens. There should be links at the top-left, below the college logo, which may say "Content Discussions Links Quizzes" (it varies by course). "Content" is where all the class material will be; mandatory reading, study guides, etc. Discussions are private, online forums for the class students. Participation is often mandatory; check the home page or Content pages to find out. "Links" are just links to other online resources. "Quizzes" aren't just quizzes; they're where you'll be taking all your full-blown exams.

Good luck with your course, and let me know if you need help with anything else. Check out my article, How to Ace a Daytona State Online Exam; I've written some good tips there.

I'm signed up for Sociology via online with the VC and not only have I not yet heard from the professor, but the links I have to the VC no longer work. On top of that, I've been searching the new site for DSC and there's nothing there (that I've found anyways).

So, if we have a class online, how do we get to it?

I'm starting to like the new name, but it does sound a bit like a prison. Anything with "state" in it does. Daytona College would be better, but it's taken unfortunately.

The daytonastate.edu domain name bothers me. dsc.edu would be nice and short, though less descriptive. Our email addresses are really long too, what with the whole @falconmail.daytonastate.edu thing. Why can't we just be @daytonastate.edu? The student email addresses don't even have the same format as faculty (first_last name vs. last_first-initial).
