Topic: Introduction to Course: Welcome!During this session we will go over the course syllabus, updated Lehman College COVID protocols, and get to know one another. Before the next class session, please be sure to respond to the two Google surveys I will send out through Blackboard. One survey is regarding your name and pronouns. The second survey is soliciting your thoughts and interests in course topics. In other words, select a topic that you would like to learn about this semester. This can be a topic you’d like to explore further, something you’d like to better understand, or just something you’d like to contribute. Our syllabus will be modified to incorporate and reflect your contributions. Survey links will be posted on Blackboard and sent via the announcement section. Guiding questions for the class session:
