As your instructor, I will be checking the course daily, Monday to Friday, and occasionally on weekends. For any questions or concerns, please e-mail [email protected] Monday through Friday (8:30 to 4:45).
Looking forward to our discussions! Do join in on the discussions each week and ask questions, as that will help you learn so much more!
