9 Course Communication

Checking Course Announcements

It is your responsibility to read the course announcements on a regular basis. This is as simple as logging into the course and checking the Announcements forum at the top of your Moodle course.  It’s very important that you read these on a regular basis or you might miss something crucial in your course work.
