How We'll Learn Online

We need to adjust to online learning in this course! Typically, this course contains a face to face meeting on two different occasions for two hours each. I have changed this face to face meeting to a Zoom meeting (mandatory). This course generally includes a simulation component that is face to face as well. Since we cannot participate in the simulation component, I have adjusted the assignment to a case study that you will present on our final Zoom call (see assignments). Case studies will be assigned in the announcement sections.

This online course is divided into Weeks (beginning at 0001 on Tuesdays and ending at 2359 on Mondays). Each week is outlined in the class schedule.

I will provide you with feedback on each of the assignments so make sure to check your instructor comments when you receive a notification that something has been graded.

Read the syllabus for more details on the course requirements.

Expectations for the Online Coursework

One thing to always keep in mind when taking any online course is that the others with whom you interact throughout the semester - including me, your instructor - are human beings. The first rule of netiquette is to "remember the human" when you are communicating with me or with your peers. The second rule is to "adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life." It's not likely that you would yell at, mock, or belittle another student in a face to face class so don't do it here. The feeling of anonymity that some people have when they are online can lead to those sorts of behaviors but they are not acceptable here or in any other online class.

Please take a few minutes and review all the Core Rules of Netiquette and these considerations for when you are attending class remotely.

Due dates are clearly posted throughout the course. Work at your leisure and meet due dates. Be sure to plan and organize to be present on the Zoom calls (May 18 and June 18 1800-2000 each).
