We will have occasional Zoom sessions to discuss some topics and to simply touch-base as a class. It will not happen weekly and you will not be required to attend nor turn on your camera when you join. There will be no recitation and you are not required to talk during the session. (Although I would love to hear your voice as it is quite lonely to be talking alone.)
All sessions will be recorded and recordings will be uploaded for everyone to access.
Please choose the most ideal time for you to meet online. You are allowed to choose more than 1 schedule.
- Zoom Times: Friday 6pm, Saturdays 9am, 12pm Tuesdays 12noon
