Leaving Class / Class Transition

Classes in virtual environments are different in this aspect. The instructional time (online face-to face-interaction, conversation, etc.) is restricted to shorter periods of time in comparison to the sessions on site. You must be present during that period and you are not allowed to leave. Do all errands and use the restroom between classes. Please do not ask to leave at all.

There will be a 10 min frame in between sessions / class.

Textbook

I don’t plan to use the virtual textbook everyday, but I will do my best to let you know ahead of time if you need to access it.
