Week 1 What is Theatre???

Happy Monday,

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.

I have had a few questions about when this course meets, you have signed up for a FULLY ONLINE course 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  are due each week by 12midnight on Sundays. 

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. 

For this week,
