Welcome! (start here)

Hello, students! Welcome to this course. I am so excited to work with you this term and assist you in achieving your educational goals. I truly look forward to our class and getting to know each of you. If you have a preferred name that is not on the official roster, please send it to me. You are welcome to call me Kate. If you are uncomfortable with that, then Professor Kate or Professor Hughes is fine, too. One of the many reasons I love teaching this particular course is the real-world applications we can share.

Please go through all the web pages to familiarize yourself with how we'll operate. You'll see that your textbook is FREE!!! (Are you smiling? I hope so!) Please contact me as soon as you have any challenges so that we can work together to meet your needs.
