Zoom Guide and Policies for Students

While in ‘online mode’, we will be using Zoom for most class hours. Some important things to know:

Please make sure you have updated your Zoom program or app to the current version.
You won’t need to keep your video and audio on 100% of the time during Zoom class, but you will need to use video and audio at some point during each class. Please be prepared to use both. If you are having a technical or personal issue that makes it difficult to do so, please let Jeff know as soon as possible.
Using Zoom on a computer provides students with a more full-featured experience. When possible, try to use a computer with webcam. If you are unable to do so, that’s OK. It will not affect your grade, but it will make some class activities more challenging.
A student can join with a computer and mobile device at the same time if that makes things technically easier.
Please do your best to participate from a place without a lot of background noise. Some family background noises can’t be prevented and are no problem, but please avoid joining in from places like a noisy coffee shop or subway station.

For those who have not used Zoom before or still have questions about how to do certain things on Zoom, please check out
