Workshop Participation:

Due to the collaborative nature of our workshops (class meetings), attendance and participation are required.
There are 7 workshops scheduled for this course. 10 points are awarded for being present for the entire collaborative workshop. Attend all seven workshops for ten points each; 70 points total.
If you miss all or part of the workshop, watch the recording and write up review notes on what you missed and submit them to Canvas as a text entry under the "Workshop #" assignment listing. Dr. L will decide whether to award you more than five participation points.
Missed workshop summary notes must be received within one week of the workshop. Late notes receive zero points.
If for any reason you cannot attend a workshop, please email Dr. L in advance to let him know, and follow up ASAP by reviewing the recording so that you are kept in the loop and do not get off track.

Workshop Tips:

Please arrive 10 minutes early every time to run a quick audio check, to ensure your microphone and speakers are working.
We rely on everyone having a microphone in the workshops, as they are very collaborative and not a traditional lecture-only format.
Workshop agendas will be provided a few days before each workshop. Make sure to check back on this page to review each agenda before logging in. You will find it helpful in staying prepared and focused during the session.
The workshop activities will change as group needs dictate. They may change as late as the day of the workshop itself. Questions about content should be emailed directly to Dr. Loertscher.
