REQUIRED: California Politics a Primer, 4th edition by Van Vechten. Available in hard copy from LAHC Bookstore or other reputable reputable book vendor; also at the following where a digital copy can also be purchased/rented. https://www.vitalsource.com/referral?term=9781483375618 or , https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/california-politics/book24472. |
USING AN OLDER EDITION OF THE SAME TEXT? Each past edition loses some utility and since important areas of the course material are aligned with the page numbers and specific content of the current editions, there is some risk that must be assumed by the student. With this said and although I cannot recommend older editions, if using the very last edition (the one before the current) generally, content change is minimal and thus, less risky.
To log in:
You will not see our course tab until I publish the site, no later than 6:00AM on the first day of classes, OR, no earlier than the afternoon-early evening the day before classes begin - look for the tab "LAHC POL 001 7684 SHEFF SP17". The gateway to log in is at: https://myetudes.org/portal.
When the course is enabled, click the above link and:
1. Use the first two letters of the your first and last name AND;
2. the last five digits of your Student ID #;
3. password is the month/day of birth, no spaces, hyphens or "/" (you may change the password once you have logged in)
for example:
Scott Heffner would be: sche; and added to this the last five digits of the student ID #; thus > sche57889.
If my birth date was October 9, then 1009 becomes my initial log in password (notice the "0" used for single digit days).
If you have problems logging in, review the information in the left menu bar at the Gateway.
To learn and/or better utilize and navigate ETUDES? After logging in, review-read the "Student User Guide", also found in the Modules.
