Hi everyone,
Welcome! I will be sharing information about my online course this Thursday and Tuesday. Many of you are returning students. Others are BRAND NEW. I look forward to meeting each of you!
This email includes a description of our upcoming topics and guest presentations. I will review the draft of my RSD calendar to get your feedback. Please note that the calendar is subject to change as I continue to assess your interest in these topics and presentations!
This Week - Tuesday (8.25)
-Registration, Course Overview, & Calendar
I will start my Thursday and Tuesday classes by going over the course, the class website, and the current draft of the calendar for tours and topics. Prior to posting the calendar on the website, I will use these first two classes to get your interest in topics and tours I have planned.
-Some of you will want to know more details of what is ahead; others only want to know the date, time, topic, & link to Zoom. I’ll add details based on your interests. I encourage you to sign up for both my Tuesday and Thursday RSD classes.
-I’ll share the Calendar and RSD Website with an overview of our topics and tours for this semester, answer questions about SDCE registration and course enrollment, and review photos from our recent tours.
-Zoom: The above Zoom link is the same Zoom link that I have previously used for each of my classes. I encourage you to save it on your desktop or bookmark it for easy access. I will use the last hour of the class to answer additional questions.
