The Essentials

• Spring term begins on March 31 and you will have access to the course Canvas site.  Our first in-person meeting will be Tuesday, April 1, in LINC 128. 

• This is an in-person, lecture-based course. We have weekly in-person sessions on Tuesdays & Thursdays from 12-1:20pm.

• This course is organized into  weekly modules. Weeks begin on Mondays and end on Sundays. 

How to Be Successful in this Course

• Communicate early and often with your instructor and assigned Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTA) if you find yourself falling behind in the coursework. 

• Read announcements, emails, and other communication you receive from your instructor and GTA.

• Print out or download the weekly quiz study guide at the beginning of each week to prepare your notes as the week progresses. (The quiz study guide is available in the quiz in each weekly module.)

• Carefully read the Task List in each weekly module Overview page. The task list will tell you what assignments and readings to complete for that week.

• Utilize Canvas tools such as the Calendar and To-Do List, and/or your own time management and planning strategies, to stay current with coursework.

• Allow yourself the time and space you need to do your best work. A useful guideline is to set aside 2-3 hours of time for work outside the class for each credit hour. For example, this class is 3 credit hours, which translates to 6-9 hours of time per week outside of class to spend on readings, assignments, and assessments.
