Faculty Introduction

I thought I’d tell you a little about myself. I’ve taught since 1998. I have a BS in Business Administration with Management and Marketing concentration. I also have an MBA, Master of Management, Master of Education, and Master of Accountancy. Currently, I am working on my  Doctoral Degree in Management.

Currently I work full time for Broward College as a Faculty Member. I also work part-time for Vargas University and St. Thomas University. I live in Florida since 2004 and I enjoy riding a bike, swimming, gardening, and traveling. I have visited 23 countries in five different continents.

My goal is to see each of you succeed in this class!

Course Requirements

• New to e-learning? Review the student videos and general information about online learning at the Broward College Online website before enrolling in any online or blended course.
• Before enrolling in an e-learning course review, computer requirements
• There are no required on-campus meeting dates
• All students must obtain their BC email address. It is used for course login. 

As your professor I would recommend that you take MAC 1105 College Algebra or an equivalent course prior to taking this class, but it is not required.

Attendance Policy
During the first week of class, you must complete the Course Orientation and the Syllabus Quiz, or you will be withdrawn from the course. Simply logging into the course will not satisfy your attendance during this time. As with an on-campus course, students who are reported for non-attendance in an online course and are withdrawn are still responsible for paying for the course. If you do not complete the requirements of the first week of class, you should drop the course by the official drop/add deadline or expect to pay for the course.

It is very important for you to actively participate in this online class. If you stop participating in class discussions, do not submit assignments, or fail to take quizzes or tests prior to the withdrawal date, you will be withdrawn from class and receive a W or, if it is your third attempt, an F.

If you stop participating after the withdrawal date, you will receive an F. To avoid this situation, you should remain an active learner in this class and always communicate extenuating circumstances to your instructor. Ongoing communication with the instructor is critical to your course success. Completion of tests, assignments, and other class activities are used as indicators of your participation in order to satisfy this reporting requirement.
