I want to welcome all of you to this class. Some of the activities and expectations in this class will be challenging for you – and I expect to be challenged too! I look forward to teaching and learning from you!
Week 1 task (at last, the plane has landed): Send me an email (either via Canvas or MVCC Connect) mentioning the three following subjects—Taylor Swift, John Wick, and pixie dust—and that you have read and understand the policies and procedures in this syllabus. This will be your electronic signature. There’s no need to stress about the three subjects I asked you to write about. Your response can be as simple as this:
“Hello, Mr. Almanza, this is your name and I’m letting you know that I intend to pursue this course and have read and understand the policies and procedures listed in the course syllabus. You also asked for me to mention these three things: Taylor Swift, John Wick, and pixie dust.
It’s really that simple. By doing that you’ll be taking your first steps to succeeding in this course; it all starts with paying attention and following directions. If you fail to do this by the end of Week 1, I will assume you have read and understand the policies and procedures in this syllabus. Either way, you will be held accountable.
