What's my role?
What's my role?
As your course instructor, I am your first contact for any help you might need in this course. If something doesn't make sense, sounds confusing, or if you'd just like more information, let me know! You can reach me through the Canvas Inbox or my email. If you're having difficulty using Canvas, I can help you with that too. However, if Canvas stops working for some reason, or if you're experiencing technical issues, please see Technical Support below.

Power Study 👩🏼🏫 📚
Power Study 👩🏼🏫 📚
SWC’s Power Study Program provides a form of academic support in which a trained tutor (“Leader”) is integrated into our course. Our assigned Power Study Leader will work with us in class and facilitate out-of-class group sessions that are designed to support you with the content and assignments specific to our course. Research shows that regular participation in Power Study sessions contributes to higher letter grades and GPAs, so please be sure to take advantage of this FREE resource!

Pronto 💬 📧 🌐
Pronto 💬 📧 🌐
The Pronto messaging app and Canvas add-on enable students to communicate directly with their instructors (think texting vs. emailing). I have added Pronto to our course as a convenient means of getting in touch with me for any of your school-related needs. This is in no way required for our class; simply use it if you find it helpful! (I definitely do!)
