Paralegal Studies: Assignment for First Class

In the Paralegal Studies Program at Phoenix College, all classes have a reading assignment, written assignment, or both, that students must complete before the first class.

To obtain that assignment, login to Canvas, our online learning system.  All paralegal courses utilize Canvas to support the class.  For each paralegal class, there is a section in Canvas called “Getting Started” and it’s at the top of the page when you go to your course in Canvas.  Click the link that says: “Reading Assignment Due for First Class.”

Paralegal Studies: Using Webex

Webex is a simple, easy-to-use system that you access using the browser from your computer or smartphone. It allows students and the instructor all see and talk to each other at the same time from anywhere they have access to the Internet. In many ways, it is just like being in a physical classroom together because everyone is online at the same time and can see and hear each other.

Many of the paralegal studies courses at Phoenix College use Webex. For paralegal classes that use Webex, students will be required to be online, using Webex, and participating in the class during the scheduled class meeting times. You will meet each week in Webex instead of meeting in a physical classroom.

At a minimum, students will need to have a computer with a microphone and speakers that can access the Internet. An inexpensie headset with a microphone is optimal. If you have a web cam, your instructor and other students can also then see you. You will need a reliable Internet connection. In some cases, you will be able to participate on Webex using a smartphone if your phone and the connection you have are capable of doing it.
