Policies

Additional Class Expectations:

Active Participation: In this class, active participation is key to meaningful engagement and learning. Learners are strongly encouraged to contribute to discussions, share their perspectives, and ask questions. To promote critical thinking and effective in-class interactions, the chat feature should be used sparingly. While quick questions or clarifications are welcome, longer answers or discussions are best reserved for face-to-face interactions during class time.

Punctuality: It’s essential for learners to arrive on time for this class. While late arrivals are welcome to join and participate from the moment they arrive, we won’t be able to restart simulations or catch up on missed activities due to time constraints. To ensure the best experience for everyone, punctuality is strongly encouraged.
