Equipment - You will need access to a computer during all class sessions and to complete all course assignments. Although it is possible to do your work using an iPad or other tablet, it is easier using a laptop or desktop computer. Your device needs to have a camera and microphone so that we can see you and hear you. If possible, attach a second monitor to your computer. This will make it easier to watch my screen while working on your own. It is best if you have headphones, earphones or airpods so that others in your home do not have to listen to the class dialog.
You will need a personal gmail address for this course. If you do not already have one, please create one by clicking on this link. Please enter your gmail address here.
A Google account is associated with your gmail. Please include a photo of yourself in your Google Account profile.
We will be using Zoom to conduct class. Please create an account and update your Zoom Profile with a current photo of yourself. Please make certain that your name matches the name under which you are registered as a CSUN student.
All class sessions will be held at csun.zoom.us/my/normherr. You may also access the class by connecting to Zoom Room: 818-677-2505 during class hours
All sessions will be broadcast live during class hours. If you need to review class material, you may watch the recordings of each class session once they are posted online.
