Communication Policies:

Synchronous Online Class Sessions. This class is designed to be an online course. I will hold several synchronous class sessions throughout the semester in order to facilitate the learning process. These sessions will be recorded and made available for later viewing. If you are unable to attend, you will need to review the recording and write a short 2-3 paragraph summary of the session.

Office Hours: You can find the schedule for office hours on the syllabus home page. Other office hours can be scheduled as needed by appointment. During office hours, I will respond to all e-mail and you can reach me by phone. We can also schedule an online video web conference or on campus meeting. Please contact me at least 48 hours in advance if you want to meet on campus. If you want to meet via video web conference, call during office hours and we can activate an immediate video web session. (One advantage of a video web conference is we can share desktop views so I can help you in completing course assignments.)

Assignment Grading: When possible, I will try to grade all assignment submissions within 3 business days of submission. Some assignments do require me to wait until all students have submitted, so please, be patient and do not expect to receive an assignment grade until one week after the assignment due date.

General Course Questions: If you have a general question about the course content, or course requirements, please post your question in the Piazza class discussion space. Read these discussions frequently and respond to your classmates questions.

Specific Grading or Progress Questions: If you have a specific question about a grade, or your progress in the course please e-mail or call me directly. Most of the time I will respond to all e-mail communications within one business day.

I look forward to getting to know each of you through out the course.
