Technical and Personal Requirements

• Each student is required to have their own personal email and connection to the Internet.
• I will link to some videos on the web and ask that you view them. If you have problems watching the videos either due to software, hardware, or ISP issues, please let me know so I can get you the help you need.
• You do need to be self-motivated and self-disciplined to pace yourself through the work each week to keep up with the class.  No everyone can do that without regularly scheduled study/work times.
