CLASS PROCEDURES
GENERAL COURSE PROCEDURES (subject to change):
- Students are expected to read Class Notices and other online postings at least every other day
because they are subject to change.
- Classes will meet online. We will have synchronous meetings (via Zoom) on Mondays and Wednesdays,
starting at 8:00 a.m.
("Synchronous" means that we all need to do this together at the same time.)
- Online readings and other assignments will be posted. All assignments other than the online class
meetings will be asynchronous,
which means that you get to do them on
your own time, regardless of other people's schedules.
This puts more responsibility on YOU to keep up with the work,
which is probably the biggest difference you will notice
between online and in-person classes.
(I have taught both over the years, so I can speak from experience.)
- Tests are listed on the syllabus, and any changes are posted on Class Notices.
The tests are scheduled on Fridays. Students with schedule conflicts should contact me about alternative arrangements.
Please DO NOT USE GOOGLE DOCS (or any link to a cloud-based service)
to submit your tests, term papers, or any other assignments; use regular email instead.
- Further details will be posted as needed.
- Remember that all plans are subject to change, so you need to check Class Notices frequently.
- Please email me at any time if you have a question or a problem.
Suggestions are always welcome.
