Syllabus -Class Meetings, Attendance and Participation Options
Class Meetings
We will have regularly scheduled LIVE Zoom yoga sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays starting at 9:00 am. Participation is flexible and students have the option of doing a pre-recorded or written sessions at their own time if they can't make a live session. All other class assignments and material will be done asynchronously, student can access and complete at their own pace while still adhering to the due dates. Please see more info under Options for Participation below.
Options for Participation
Since this is a movement-based class, participating in a regular yoga practice if critical for success in this course and is 50% of your grade. Your options are as follows.
- Attend LIVE Zoom Practices Monday & Wednesday 9-10:15am.
- Follow recorded Zoom Yoga Sessions or Youtube Yoga Videos by Tara J
- Written options will be given mid-way through the term
LIVE Zoom Instructions
If attending the LIVE Zoom Practices, at some point the instructor will ask you to type your name in the chat for attendance. You will also be required to participate in polls or breakout rooms on occasion for credit. Please have your video "on" but microphone muted unless you have a question. If you are having technical/internet issues or other issues with this, please email your instructor privately about your concerns. I will enter in your participation scores for the assignment after each class session. If you are consistently late or leaving early or absent during check-ins, points will be deducted from your score.
Pre-recorded Instructions
If you are doing recorded videos, you will be required to turn in a time-lapse video of you doing the practices. You will attach the time-lapse video on the participation assignment by the due date. Include a description of the video you chose to do in the submission comments. For example, the name of the video on youtube or date of Zoom yoga practice session, etc..

Attendance
Students who fail to attend the first class (face-to-face courses) or do not log-in to an online class after the second day of the semester will be dropped from the class. It is strongly advised that if you need to miss more than one class/homework deadline in a row that you contact me to avoid being dropped from the class.
