"Online classes fill up so fast!"

Yes, they do! As you've probably noticed, enrolling in an online class can be a challenge due to high student demand. Some classes fill within the first hours of the first day of registration. So, if you are fortunate enough to enroll, please be considerate of other who students who aren't so lucky. If you decide the class isn't right for you, please drop the class as soon as possible to clear a spot for another student.

Also, please be aware that if you add an online class after the first week, you will need to start working on the class immediately. Online classes move very quickly and there is generally a 24-hour delay between the time you add the class, and the time you can access the class in Blackboard. This is why I strive to ensure all of my students who enroll for my online class are ready to go on day one! I want you all to have an equal opportunity to have a successful learning experience. Please work with me towards this goal.

"This is an online class so why can't you just add everybody?

Teaching an online is more demanding than face-to-face classroom style teaching. I strive to provide individual feedback to my students and be available for one-on-one help for each student who needs it. While face-to-face class enrollment can be limited to the amount of physical space in the room, online classes are limited by English department's enrollment cap. Please understand that I read everything that is posted and submitted by my students. Adding additional students challenges my ability to facilitate a successful learning experience for my enrolled students. The more students I add, the fewer interactions each of you will have with me.
