Course Syllabus: Schandorf-WRDS150B_713-Syllabus-2021T1(Fall).pdf

1. Read the course syllabus very, very carefully.
2. Notice that everything you need to do (essentially a complete map of the course) is available from the Modules tab on the left. Go there now, and
3. complete the Introductory Survey, begin thinking about your Introductory Video/Personal Essay (I will use these to assign you to a team -- you will be able to watch your classmates' posted videos on the discussion board), and
4. watch the Introductory Lecture.
5. Familiarize yourself with our course blog site.
6. Send me your UBC student email address, so we can add you to our Microsoft Teams site. (You'll need to get a student email address if you don't have one.)
7. Get a WordPress.com account, and send me your username and login email.

Once you've taken these steps, you should have a pretty good idea of what is going here. (If you don't take these first simple steps, you are probably going to end up asking several silly questions and everyone will know that you didn't :) .) If you have questions AFTER doing these things, please email and ask.
