COURSE POLICIES

First Day Attendance Policy: Official university policy is that any student not attending the first class meeting will be automatically dropped from the class. For distance students, this policy is interpreted as posting to the discussion forum "First Day Attendance" no later than the first day of the semester. Regular participation via the Canvas course interface is required. Official course announcements, review materials, assignments, and help archives will all be on-line at this site.

COURSE PROCEDURES


We will be using Elluminate for the class, so please make sure your computer is up to speed. No major downloads are necessary except Java, and you will not need a webcam, but you should have functioning speakers or headset.
I also recommend that you use a wired connection, or at least a very strong, uninterrupted wireless connection.

This is the link to class; save it elsewhere as a backup.
