Expectations

Keep discussions and examples 'PG'.

Disrespect will not be tolerated. Treat each other well.

Learning is fun, even when it’s hard. So is helping others.

Be engaged in the class and online discussions.

Do prep work and assignments.

Instructor will look for students falling behind, but it is the student’s responsibility to seek out help if they begin to slip.

Virtual office hours will be held regularly. If you need help, or would like 1:1 feedback, it is highly recommended that you attend them.

Enjoy your work.
