CAMPUS ANNOUNCEMENTS: Padlet, inserted here, shows an agenda for topics and announcements related to my English classes. (Click through on the right)
The GoogleSlide above shows campus and community events and resources. The more engaged you are with campus events and clubs, etc., the less likely you are to bail, because you'd be bailing on the friends you might make. On this campus, you can play ping pong, esports, even do campus and off-campus volunteerism, all of which are sometimes more important than getting good grades. Press the arrow keys < 1 > to advance to other announcements. When events are completed, I will remove them as appropriate.

ENG 100 meets for 75 minutes, once a week, as a hybrid class. A hybrid class means that we meet FACE to FACE in Kalia 110 once a week and then the rest of the class gets conducted on GoogleClassroom, in terms of turning in homework and essays.
As far as Zoom, Zoom gets used outside of regularly-scheduled Student-Conferencing hours to discuss your ideas or anxieties. Rather than suffering in silence, frustration, or confusion, using these conferencing hours seems wise. When entering Zoom, please mute your audio out of consideration to other participants. Feel free to request a Zoom conference when you are unable to make in-person Student-Teacher Conferencing hours on the 2nd floor of the Lama Library.
