Class Disclaimer | Asynchronous online class discussions that take place in Moodle, will be based on the weekly recorded lecture, assigned readings, shared articles, and other material and topics introduced by either the instructor or students. Live online class meetings will be conducted. These sessions may be recorded, but this cannot be guaranteed. We will schedule these meetings via class vote before the course start date -- please look for notices via email. These meetings will involve discussions and may include a brief overview of topics and concepts, as well as guest speakers. We may schedule supplemental meetings, attendance for which is not required. Online meeting details will be posted on Moodle. Recorded lectures will also be posted for on Moodle. Please allow 2 weeks for grade processing after the end date of the course. Check that this delay will not interfere with deadline dates at your school for graduation or financial aid. |
