Just as a reminder:

Forty percent of your grade will be based on the quantity and quality of the weekly assignments/ participation for the class. They will consist of reading the assigned texts/ readings, composing written responses to readings, postings on Open Lab, and a crafting a compilation of short writing assignments. You will also have to view the weekly PowerPoint or Video and complete the activities attached to it. 

Asynchronous Posting

We meet as a synchronous class twice a week online via Zoom. If you are unable to makes these synchronous meetings, the materials will be posted online and can be completed asynchronously. It is very important that you participate on this Discussion Page if you are not able to participate in the synchronous class. You are also welcome to contribute as a synchronous member of the class.

You MUST EITHER attend the synchronous class or post on this discussion page the responses to the Activities in the PowerPoint to get credit for Weekly Attendance/ Participation.
