1. Please include your career major. 2. Given the online course environment, what time of day do you normally complete your schoolwork? Please provide any other information that I might need to know that will affect your work and performance in BIO 103. While we want to work together to provide an online experience that works for all our students, it is harder to get to know you when we don’t see each other on a regular basis, so please don’t hesitate to reach out. As always, it’s best to do that in advance and not after the fact, when we have items on which we are working! Thanks for your help!

When are you available for optional ZOOM sessions, should you need help with course content? While there will be 1-2 sessions on the same topic, you would only attend one of the available sessions. For those unable to attend, recordings will be available after the final session on the given topic. I will use this information to select times that work for most people. We try to work around your daily schedues. Slight variations in that will occur during test weeks. Days/evenings during the week are typically best for ZOOM sessions. We will use alternative days when tests are scheduled. Please provide the earliest time that you are available on Mondays? Latest time? The same for Tuesdays? Wednesdays? And lastly, Thursdays, how do those work for you? Time options? Please also explain any scheduling quirks that you have – rotating schedule, etc. Thank you for all of this help!! I will use this information to plan ZOOM sessions on a regular weekly schedule. Again, ZOOM sessions are entirely OPTIONAL and recordings will be posted for those who do not attend.
