Message from the course coordinator: Please read carefully the Canvas course page. Make sure you search for and read information on Canvas before contacting course coordinators (independence is an important skill to develop and sharpen later on in your work life too!). Keep yourself updated throughout the course - make sure to always read 'Announcements' posted on Canvas, and your student email (GU). And remember to enjoy and have fun while actively engaging in the course! ;-)
