Details about this class

The only required materials purchase for this course is an electronic course packet which costs under $15 dollars. The course is largely self-paced to allow students the freedom to complete activities at times that best fit with their schedule. The course is divided into two halves and there are two main deadlines: one near the course midpoint, and another just before finals week. Activities for each half of the course need to be submitted by the respective deadline. The instructor will keep close tabs on activities that are submitted and grade them in a timely many when they are submitted by students. 

Technology

All that is required is a stable internet connection with sufficient bandwidth, and up to date software compatible with D2L Brightspace. 

No show policy

Your instructor can mark you as a "no show" if you do not participate in your class during the first week. This will remove you from the class. It is important to log in as soon as the class starts to see what the participation requirements are.
