Performance and Participation Expectations
Time Commitment: 1 hour weekly in class
1 hour weekly outside of class
Of you, the student:
Each unit includes a schedule with due dates for the assignments; you are expected to keep pace with the schedule, and to communicate with your teacher if you will be missing any deadlines. Emergencies do happen; we can work around them if you communicate.
Whenever you have questions or difficulties, you should email/message your teacher right away. That's what your teacher is here for! You also have classmates that you can collaborate with.
From your teacher:
Your teacher is here to help you! When you contact your teacher by email or Edmodo message, you can expect a response within 24 hours (and usually much faster than that), except at times when an announcement has been posted in the class to say the teacher is temporarily unavailable, such as on a brief trip.
You will meet with your class each week and will communicate at other times using Edmodo. You can also read your teacher’s comments on your assignments and see your grades right in Edmodo.

Teacher-Student Interaction
For group assignments, you will choose your own groups of 2-3. You must let your teacher know your group members so he/she can create a small group within Edmodo. This will allow you to put your minds together to create your best work.
This course will be taught by a team of co-teachers who are experts in various areas. Co-teachers will each take a week to facilitate the discussions and rotate through the course.
Groups will report their progress directly in Edmodo through group discussions and direct messages.
