COMMUNICATION :Use ONLY your gordonstate.edu email when emailing me. Do not use the Desire2Learn email program to contact me. Please develop the habit of reading all the posts in the "Ask a Question" forum in Desire2Learn, since many very important issues will be discussed there. If you have a general question about the course, e.g., policies, assignments, dates, Teams sessions, post it in the forum so that all can benefit. In addition, check your gordonstate.edu email often and regularly. I will use the gordonstate.edu email and the "Ask a Question" forum in Desire2Learn frequently to advise you of important information like syllabus and assignment changes, graded assignments, helpful examples and resources you can use toward the completion of your assignments. I will respond to your emails within 24 hours Monday through Friday. Please read my emails carefully because many important updates will be communicated this way. I will also be using Remind.com for class notifications (the detailed information will be provided in a welcome email). Things happen, naturally, but please do not present me with a problem and expect me to solve it. Instead of sending me comments about issues ending with a period (.), send me possible solutions to your dilemma ending with a question mark (?). Please take the responsibility for being proactive.
