Hello All,
I hope that you are all healthy and safe. What an adventure in which we find ourselves. I'm looking forward to continuing our academic development online, and finding new ways to be complex thinkers and problem solvers.
Canvas assignments are up and running. My "office hours" will be from 1:00pm-2:00pm Monday - Friday. Please email me, or send me a message in Canvas, or attend the zoom meetings during my office hours if you need any additional help, have questions, comments, or concerns.
Further, please attend our weekly class zoom meetings as often as possible.
Remember, due dates are a general guideline for you and and to help me, but there will be no penalties for late work while we are conducting class online.
Modules in Canvas labeled "mandatory" are required, and those labeled "enrichment" are available for you as an option, but are not required.
Best Wishes,
-Anna Christiansen
