Communication and Participation

I am always available to answer questions and clarify assignments during the live class. I also respond within 48 business hours to emails sent through Canvas’ messaging system.

Because the live class is highly interactive and dependent on student participation, I appreciate knowing in advance if a student will be absent. Thanks!

I send notifications at the beginning of each unit so parents are aware of topics that may be of a sensitive nature.
