How to be prepared for class: 

This is a court required class, your device’s camera will need to be on, and you will need to be visible during the entire class to ensure everyone is participating. There will be times of discussion, taking notes, and answering questions throughout the class so please be available in a place with minimal noise and distraction. Although this is an online webinar, remember that other participants can see and hear you, so your distractions can affect them. Working on other things, cooking, pets, dogs, taking care of a child, etc. are best left out of regular classrooms, so if you're not able to give your full attention to the online class please reschedule to a different Wednesday evening. Above all, please do not attempt to participate in class while you are driving or riding in a car, you will not be allowed to join or remain in class and will instead be asked to reschedule for another Wednesday class.
