Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

This class will be held in-person at a scheduled time every week. An important part of this class will be engaging in class discussion and working both in class and asynchronously with fellow classmates on projects.

Notetaking Devices: Having a way to take notes (either on paper or on a device) and an internet-accessible device will be helpful for participation in class sessions.

Asynchronous Work: Class sessions are held in-person at a scheduled time unless otherwise noted. An effort will be made to give students some time to work on most assignments during class; however, there will be instances where completion of preparatory reading, take-home quizzes, or assigned projects will require time spent outside of class. Scheduling meetings with project teammates outside of the scheduled class sessions is not required.

Flexibility: Success in BIT courses is highly reliant on interaction with instructors and classmates as well as a deepening familiarity with the techniques and best practices frequently encountered in the biotech setting. To achieve proper training from this course, students are expected to attend every class session and be in regular communication with project teammates. That said, it is understandable when other life obligations come up. Please let your instructor know if there is a class session that you will miss or be late for as soon as you can. With timely communication, it often makes it possible to make up missed work and stay up-to-date on class material.
