Details about this class
This is a fully online class (100 % web-based course) without any set or required meeting times for your involvement. Consequently, you need to login 3 different days per week. For example, discussions require interactions among our class members. Interactions build our community of learning. Other reasons for more frequent logins include the need to check the announcements page, to track any potential adjustments to your work-assignments, or changes to the tentative course calendar.
I look forward to working with you this term!
