Hi Everyone,
Welcome back! I hope you had a wonderful and rejuvenating summer. I am THRILLED that you have enrolled in the advanced doctoral course: CEP 956: Mind, Media, & Learning.

Participation, synchronous and asynchronous, is a big part of this course. Another course goal is your production of a submission-ready manuscript for a journal which is based on your own research interests and developing area(s) of expertise. We will spend time each week talking about key steps in the publishing process, and the course will scaffold your writing of a manuscript for submission by the course’s end. Previous students have really appreciated this component of the course and been very successful in publishing their articles. I will share with you a list of these authors/articles when we meet.
Please let me know in advance if you have any conflicts. Please also let me know if you have never used Zoom video-conferencing. No experience is required, but I would like to know if this technology is new to you.
Thank you and have a great weekend!
Chris
