Distance Education:
· We will conduct our courses online and we will use Zoom software for our online courses. During our regular course hours (Wednesday 13:30), we will meet online using Zoom software. Before each online session I will send an email containing a link to all of you so that you can connect to the Zoom session. You will connect the online course using that link. Please check your e-mails regularly before online sessions to find my e-mail containing the connection link. I will try to record each of our online session and I will share those videos on the web after our classes so that you can watch them again. I will also share my slides on the web before our classes. If you study the course slides before the online session, the online sessions will be more productive.
· On October 20, I sent the course Zoom link to all of your registered e-mail addresses and you will use that link to connect the next meetings. We will use the same Zoom link every week after the week of October 20th. If you haven't received the email that I sent on October 20th, please inform me immediately.
