<aside> 📌 I recognize that we are all living through stressful times that can be far reaching and also very personal. This class is designed to be collaborative, where learning happens because of the perspectives, experiences, and knowledge that we all bring. And I know that there’s a lot on everyone’s minds and a lot going on in our lives as a whole.
Compassion and flexibility will help us all get through this course together. I’ll check-in with you all periodically, and am open to hearing how you are doing and what might help you get through the course in a way that feels satisfactory to you and supports your well-being. If you tell me you’re having trouble, I won’t judge you or think any less of you. I hope you extend me and your fellow classmates the same consideration.
