FASH 57 is a fully online synchronous course. This course is not self-paced and will require you to fully participate every week throughout the semester.

You must use the Class Request option on the class schedule using the CRN to request an add.
Requests are not guaranteed! I always prioritize the waitlist first and then the request list.

Dropping the Class:

Students are encouraged to drop the class on their own ASAP to allow other students to add.
The instructor will drop students who do not demonstrate academic contributions within the first seven days of the course. Academic contribution is usually in the form of a discussion post and quiz, depending on the instructor's assignments.

Students are required to be aware of drop dates throughout the semester. CCSF Academic Calendar will include the last dates to drop with and without a W as well as last day to drop for a full refund. Students are responsible to drop the class on their own in these circumstances.
