Syllabus Disclaimer

I do my best to make sure the syllabus is up to date and ready for you at the start of the semester. Sometimes things happen (weather, pandemic, power outages, etc.). It is possible that the syllabus may need to change, due dates may need adjusted throughout the semester. I will always make a course announcement through canvas to notify you if a change is made and make the change on this syllabus and offer to answer any questions you may have.
