Instructor: Sharon Charles-Brackens, DHSc, MSA, RD

Things to remember: 1.) SCharlesBrackens@kaplan.edu. AIM – scbrackens during my office hours Tuesdays from 9:00

p.m. – 11:00 p.m. EST or any other time that you see me on. If you need to meet on AIM at another time, please let me know so that we can make arrangements.

2.)When you e-mail me PLEASE say which course you are in for example NS 220-06 and please indicate your full name (first and last name) I have a few students with the same name. It will make things MUCH easier for me to identify you and answer your questions timely.

3.)In seminar, you can messenger me privately by clicking on my name at the left hand side of the seminar screen. I have turned off the ability for you to messenger other students privately, as that seems to be distracting. You can always email other students and ask for their AIM names so that you can contact each other at a later time.

4.)During seminar, please ask questions relative to seminar’s topic. Remember to type HU (hands up) when you have a question so the answer to your question can be prompt and no questions will go left unanswered.

Here's today's gem:

Do you hesitate to take action because you're not sure if you'll be effective? Remember that achievement is built on efforts that work as well as efforts that don't work. Some of your individual efforts may not bring the desired results. Yet when you are committed to keep doing whatever is necessary, you are sure to find a way. The important thing is to focus on the goal, and put your energy into doing your best to reach that goal.
