How we'll learn in this course

[Note to instructors: Use this space to highlight key characteristics of your course (in-person, online, or a blend of these instructional approaches). Consider how lectures or labs will be handled, due dates, assignments (alternative assignment options), testing, changes to policies (e.g., late policy, flexibility for those without access to tools). Also include information about where to access an updated syllabus.]

This course is divided into Weeks, as listed in the Modules tool. Each week will include:

material for you to read, watch, and explore;
a practice activity, and Sherpath assignments
a graded assignment to allow you to work with the concepts and resources (sometimes individually, sometimes together).

I will provide you with feedback on each of the assignments so make sure to check your instructor comments.

Expectations for the online coursework

One thing to always keep in mind when taking any 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.
