ACADEMIC SUCCESS
I recognize that this is a very stressful time for you. COVID-19 and racial unrest has added significant stress and trauma to our lives. That stress affects your ability to learn. Give yourself grace as you try your best.
I am here to support you towards your academic success. At the same time, you are here to be challenged and learn new things, and the class will be demanding. I believe in you!
I welcome your questions any time and I'm happy to help you think through your ideas so you can successfully complete an assignment. Sometimes just a five minute conversation in Zoom or on the phone is all you need. Struggle is a natural part of learning, but if you're feeling frustrated that means it is time to reach out for some assistance.
You know how to reach me, right?

Grades will be calculated as follows:

MY GRADING PHILOSOPHY
Grades are a reflection of your learning progress. Each week, you should click on the Grades button in our course navigation and review your scores and my feedback. There are no hidden points in this class. You do the work, show that you've learned by meeting the assignment criteria, and you get points. It's that simple. If something seems not right, reach out and let me know.
