Online Learning requires that you are a mature, innovative, self-starter who will be dedicated to completing course work on your own, with minimal guidance. I hope that we can work together for a successful semester. I will be available by email, telephone, and in-person meetings to facilitate your work process, but the major responsibility for completing work is yours.
Keep in mind, your enrollment in this class begins immediately!
If you have any questions or concerns, either before or after registering, please contact me via email at queeneys@bucks.edu
I look forward to working with you!
