Details about this class
I want to give you some information about the class so you can make the best decisions for the coming term. I think of this as you getting a chance to have informed consent about whether you want to take this class. The syllabus isn't finalized yet, but it will stay very similar. Here's an old version for you to get a sense of the structure
There is no textbook for this class! I made that decision in order to save you money and remove barriers for success. So, don’t worry about heading to the bookstore, you have everything you need as long as you have dependable internet access.
This class is fully online and asynchronous. This means that there are no scheduled Zoom lectures and all the course content is included within the D2L Brightspace shell and can be accessed at any time day or night 24/7. However, there are established deadlines for submission of weekly discussion posts and assignments.
Technology
There is no additional technology required for this class.
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.
