Blackboard serves as the virtual classroom environment for this course. As such, it isimportant that you log into Blackboard as least twice throughout the week, since waitinguntil the weekend will impede your learning in this course particularly when we’reengaged in online discussion. Furthermore, you’re encouraged to post proceduralquestions and comments in Blackboard as your fellow learners may share the sameconcerns. Outside of Blackboard, you’re welcome to contact me via e-mail, telephone, orin-person. I will primarily use Blackboard and e-mail to communicate with each of you,although I find the occasional telephone call or in-office visit to be quite helpful.If questions or concerns arise, contact me anytime (by e-mail, phone, in person, etc.). Ibelieve that every problem can be solved (or at least made better) if we communicateopenly and honestly about it and put our heads together to brainstorm possible solutions.But I need you to tell me what’s working, what’s not working, and how we can makethings better for you as soon as you detect a problem.IV.
