Announcements:

I may use Canvas Announcements for urgent and important messages, so it’s strongly suggested that you set your Canvas notification preferences for Announcement to “Notify me right away.” See these Canvas help resources:

Q & A Discussion: 2 types of Q & A (during M-F 9am-5pm)

  • General discussion (in English): Students are able to ask or/and answer course related content weekly.

  • I will be participating in the both discussions weekly as well.

Zoom session (group meetings):

I will have a weekly Zoom meeting twice a week as the course schedule for students to connect over difficulties with the content.

Feedback:

  • I will be providing feedback on assignments and projects in the grade book.
  • I will be sending messages via the Canvas Inbox.
  • I grade students’s work seriously, and students are required to submit their corrected work promptly as part of learning. Students should expect to hear from me within 48 hours on all work vice versa, students should submit all corrected work within 48 hours.
