Zoom Rules:

1. When you first login you will be put in the Waiting Room until the class begins.
2. The chat functionality in Zoom will be the primary communication method if you have any questions or issues
3. If you would like to ask Dr. Mohler a question in the class please use the Q&A functionality in Zoom. Once Dr. Mohler pauses for questions, the moderator will choose questions from the Zoom audience to be asked. The moderator will unmute your microphone so you can ask the question verbally to Dr. Mohler. In order to get on the list you must post your question via the Q&A button at the bottom of the Zoom tab. You must have your video on to ask a question so please be ready. If your video is not on or you are away from the computer we will go to the next question.
4. There are also in-person students as well. If someone asks a question that is physically in the room then the moderator will type the question in the chat so you know what Dr. Mohler is answering.
5. There are many students in the class so it is likely that not all questions will be able to be answered.
