Happy Back To School,
Breath, Relax and take a moment for yourself. We will make this a great semester.
I hope you have had a chance to make sure you are up and running on Blackboard and can consistently check your BMCC email.
This course will meet FACE TO FACE Monday 8/30 to kick off the semester. We will check in, get to know one another, review course expectations and set the class community up for success. Please bring your masks as they are required. Please also bring your curiosity, questions and a positive attitude. I can’t wait to meet you.
Section 5016 will meet 12n-145p at 70 Murray M1013
Section 5017 will meet 2p-345p at 70 Murray M1013
You are welcome to attend either session if the timing works better for you. 🙂
Following our first class meeting this course will be FULLY ONLINE which means we do not have consistent meetings. Everything you need is on BB (Blackboard) or The Open Lab site. The Course Guide is your life line, it details each week what you need to do. All assignments are submitted via BB either in the form of a quiz of through the DB (Discussion Board). Assignments s are due each week by 12m on Sunday.
Be sure you have viewed The Welcome Video and How to use BB and The Open Lab so you are clear on how the course is set up and what the expectations are.
Be sure you complete the E-Learning Orientation to make sure you are clear. There is a link on the left side column of BB that will take you there. Also, https://www.bmcc.cuny.edu/academics/elearning/
I will send out a reminder announcement at the beginning of each week reviewing the weeks focus and expectations as well.
