Web-based Course Information

• Mandatory Orientation sessions for all my courses will be completed online via D2L during the first week of the semester.
• I will send more information about specific classes via email to all my students approximately 1 week before the semester begins.
• My classes will “meet” 1-3 times each the semester using Microsoft Teams, a video chat program free to GHC students. Depending on the course, one chat may be required, but any others will be optional sessions completed for extra credit. If a chat is required, an alternate assignment will also be available.
• To ensure success in my classes, students should have access to a computer or laptop with reliable internet. (Trying to complete an online writing course with a tablet and portable keyboard is very tough.) 
• Ideally, students will also have access to headphones, or a cell phone, because internal speaker/microphone configurations don’t always provide good quality audio for video chats.
• For book information and other specifics, please choose the course from the list on the right.

I look forward to spending my semester with you!
