It's very important that you join this support group to be a part of the class and to make connections with other students. Please send Brenda an e-mail to [email protected] if you have not given your approval yet to be added to the student support group.
2. Study Group: Beverly and I are working out the details for the days and times we will hold the study groups. These groups are meant to help you study and work through your quizzes and for support through the class. Once we have set up the dates we will announce them and you will be given the link to join.
3. Questions: Please direct all questions about the course to Brenda by text to 530-368-0918 and to Beverly by text to 223-269-9141. This is the fastest way to receive a response from us.
