Animation & Game Design Course Syllabus

What to Expect:

I will have an in class schedule with daily schedules posted.
I will take a photo of this schedule and post it to Google Classroom for those who miss class/need to know what was done.
I expect all students to be in my Google Classroom: when I am absent from class, I will use that platform to communicate plans.
Most, if not all class work, will be completed in class. I do not usually assign homework aside from permission slip style assignments.
I hope to foster a relationship and understanding with all students so that if a student needs additional support they feel comfortable coming to me for requests and suggestions of aid.

How do you get into Google Classroom?

I will be sending your spsdme account an email! Codes will not be published online to ensure class privacy.
