Welcome!

Hi Class,

I am making this course available in Canvas early to give you a head start.

Don't be scared off by the fancy suit, I'm a regular guy, easily accessible to my students. I always welcome student interaction and encourage you to communicate with me on a regular basis. The huge amount of course material, combined with Canvas technology can be overwhelming, that's where I can help. Don't me shy, use me!

Here I am (was) in real life!
