My name is Innocent Karemera and I will be your instructor for the course. I am looking forward to a terrific semester with you.
I want to welcome everyone, and I would encourage you to post a short informal hello message in the "Introductions" discussion forum to let me know you received my welcome message, and to briefly introduce yourself to your fellow classmates.
This course will have regular weekly assignments due, weekly online discussions forums, as well as readings and course materials. This is not a self-paced course--it's important that you keep on top of the weekly reading and assignments!
Each of you must manage your own time each week to know when assignments, and any other weekly course obligations, are due. This will involve regularly logging into the system to check discussion forums and communications, monitoring your campus email address, and virtually interacting with classmates, team members, instructors, and course materials.
As you get started, I'm happy to answer any questions that may arise, or point you to our tech support for more technical questions. Please post your specific questions about the class in the Getting Started forum or directly to our WhatsApp group.
I look forward to working with you this semester and getting off to a strong start!
