Please read about my class before registering to ensure it is the right class for you. 

 

This class is Remote and Online; you can learn more about class types at PCC here. REMOTE, which means it is like an in-person class where you must log in every Tuesday 12-1:20 pm from April 9 to May 21st (it is only 7 weeks). Attendance in this class is essential and required, you must attend at least 4 classes to pass. I use cooperative learning, which requires students to be present, engaged, and participate with cameras and microphones

 

For the online portion, you will complete an assignment due at the beginning of the following class. Assignments will include reading a brief article, practicing a strategy for stress management, and reflecting on your well-being and mental health. There are no research, papers, or quizzes. 

 

Because not everyone is in a situation to have a camera on or a working microphone, PCC offers many other sections, so please consider a fully ONLINE class if you cannot attend or do not wish to have your camera and microphone on and interact with other students.
