[MUHL3303] - COVID-19 planning
Please complete this short form, to be used only for the purposes of our class, to help me understand what your expectations, needs, and preferences would be regarding online instruction should the university move to this model in the coming weeks.
The university has requested that faculty educate themselves on online teaching tools and strategies. To my mind, this also requires understanding YOU and how your lives may change should the physical campus close. I don't teach to hear myself talk; I teach to help you understand the material in ways that are engaging and appropriate. Teaching online poses many challenges, and I want to make sure that we are all investing time to create an experience that is as likely as possible to provide an informative and enjoyable experience.
I understand that your lives may change in substantive ways should the university close. Your personal health, family/caretaking obligations, travel and commuting time, work, and financial situation might be significantly affected. You might also be staying in a location with different technology infrastructure and access than is typical. Please consider how you might be affected by working from a "home" or other alternative location and share those insights with me below to the best of your preference and ability.
Let's make the rest of the semester a success, no matter how we end up working together!
