Introductions

Hi everybody!

I am Dr. Nahas, your fearless leader this summer.  You can read about my education, teaching, and a bit about my personal life on my profile, but here I'd like to talk about summer courses.  

Summer courses are INTENSE!!!  This is especially important to prepare yourself for in an online summer course.  It's SO easy to get side-tracked, forget to check in to the course, and just drop the ball for a week or two when you don't have to come and face me at a scheduled time in a classroom.  DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!!!  Start off by scheduling time throughout the week to complete your coursework and just check-in with the class.  

Also, online courses can be very alienating, but I am here for you!  They actually pay me to help you, so please do not hesitate to come by my office hours or call or chat with me during my office hours.  HOWEVER, if those hours don't work for you, make an appointment!!!

As you can see, my office hours, Writing Center Hours, and general on-campus availability are posted on the course's Front Page.  Keep those things in mind, but I'm also available to talk Monday-Friday.

I encourage you to get organized, look ahead to the rest of the course's schedule and assignments, and ask me questions!
