Dear Student,

Greetings to you and welcome to my class. My name is Prof. N. Ewusi-Mensah and I will be your facilitator during the first semester of the 2022/2023 academic year. I am looking forward to a great learning experience with you. 

As a first step, I encourage you to fill out and submit the course registration form to help me know you better and to plan effectively for all upcoming activities/assignments. See your class president/rep for your log-in details.

 Secondly, please take some time off to carefully read the course overview, learning objectives, due dates for course assignments, and some useful instructional materials. Online sessions will take place via Zoom. You can always access the live Zoom sessions using this link; Join a Live Zoom Session. The username and password to be used to join a live online session will be shared on your class WhatsApp pages 30 minutes before the start of the class. Most of the time, I will record the live Zoom sessions and share them with students. I have also added some helpful videos and useful links to assist in self-paced learning. Class forum discussions will take place in the KNUST virtual classroom (V-class). This will involve regularly logging into the V-class to check discussion forums and interacting with classmates/team members and myself. Please note that discussion forums are graded (5 marks) (Appendix 1.0 under rubric is a useful guide for all forum assignments. 

At this point, I suggest you log in to the V-Class to submit your first assignment--introduce yourself in three sentences and outline in three bullet points your expectations for this course. View and comment on at least two other posts from your classmates. 

There is a lot of work to do...so let's get started. Good luck.
