About

      I hope that you will enjoy the class that you chose, and I will strive to help you succeed in any way that I can, especially in these challenging times.  You may email me in Canvas or in Outlook with questions, and you may choose to interact with me in Zoom office hours.  I am on line every day of the semester, including weekends and holidays, and you should not have to wait too long for a response, as I check at least five times a day.  In addition, MJC provides abundant resources:  experienced tutors at The Writing Center, whom you can access on line; NetTutors (free, professional online tutors). support from the MJC Librarians and their website.  In addition, I have added a link in my course in which I invited former highly successful students to share their strategies for success in my classes.  I hope that you will see these students as inspiring role models, though they may have been as concerned as you may be about their potential for success, initially.
