Dr. Hassan Ali El-Najjar was born in Gaza,
Palestine, in 1950. In 1967, he left to Jordan, Egypt, Libya,
and the UAE before immigrating to the USA in 1986.
He has been teaching sociology and
anthropology courses at DSC since 1991.
He is now teaching the Introduction to
Sociology (SOCI-1101) course in three different ways:
Regular, Hybrid, and Online. He
also teaches the
Introduction to
Anthropology (ANTH-1103)
course as an online course. Click at anyone of them on the right
column to see a detailed syllabus.
Basic differences between
the three courses:
1. The regular
course meets regularly in a classroom.
2. The Hybrid
course gives students an attendance option for pre-exam
sessions. Basic exams are taken in class.
3. The Online
course is completely taught and evaluated through online
activities, except for the basic exams, which are taken in
class.
The main objective of this diversity
in delivering courses is to enable various categories of
students to get higher education, whether in the traditional
face-to-face classroom setting, or online, without the need to
bring them to college campuses.
In
particular, this diversity in delivering higher education aims
at serving students who are living far away in a state or even
in other states, as well as students who do not have time or are
incapable to attend regular classes.
Basic Information About Dr. El-Najjar's Online
Courses:
In my online sociology & anthropology courses, there are two
types of tests:
1. Online tests on every chapter to be taken through Georgia
View online, each one of them has about seven days to be
taken. These online tests account for 16% of the grade.
2. There are five in-class exams, covering units, about
three chapters each. These exams are taken in class every
about three weeks. They account for 84% of the grade. This
means that the class meets only five times for taking these
exams.
***
There are a lot of materials available in Georgia View to
help students do well in online tests and in in-class exams.
These include study guides for every chapter, summaries,
lecture notes, handouts, and my audio-taped lectures on
power-point presentations.
