Expectations for Participation

Students’ success in this course will heavily depend on their participation and engagement with the material, both during and outside of class

1. Attendance

Students should use their real name (first and last) on Zoom so that the instructor can track attendance accurately.

2. Group Instruction

This course aims to keep whole-group instruction short — students should use this time to follow along in their books, take notes, and ask questions. Students will need to have their Zoom window open to follow along with the instructor’s work on-screen.
