Classroom Culture

Let’s all agree to:

• Treat each other with respect
• Avoid bringing distractions into class
• Participate in class
• Be on video with mute on during class

How To Succeed in a Remote Environment

• Communication is key! Please respond in a “reasonable” timely manner if we contact you via slack or email.
• No distractions during class. This means no cell phones (talking/texting), television, or children around.
• Make sure to speak up and speak out about any problems you are having! Don’t be afraid to ask questions during class! Someone else is probably having this same issue!
• Carve out at least 1-1.5 hours outside a class a for every 3 in class for review and homework. Expect the your schedule during the course to be out of the norm for you. If you have to carve out a personal hour during a family vacation, you will have to do this!
• Make use of office hours! Find a time that works for you and don’t cancel on your instructors :)
• Hold yourself accountable. Don’t let yourself fall behind!

Group Work Formats

We will be using breakout rooms to get more personalized learning environments. Make sure to get to know your classmates and use each other as teachers!
