CMU102-CA Freshmen Survival Skills II
Details on Zoom, videos, syllabus & homework:
Syllabus addendum: To earn attendance credit, you must attend class in person unless you have been quarantined by CMU. If you are in quarantine you may attend on Zoom, but your camera must be on your face. As always, accommodations will be made for extenuating circumstances. Notify me as soon as possible is we need to work out an alternative plan.
