WEBSITE LAUNCH FOR COURSE

Hey Everyone 👋🏽

So over the past couple of weeks, I got an idea of creating a website for the course that I'm class rep for. 

So, I'm excited to announce that I've created a new website, Class Connect, specifically for our INFO 2604 class!

This website is designed to be a central hub for all things related to our course. Here's what you can find:

- Course Syllabus: Easily access the syllabus and any updates in one place.

- Announcements: Stay up-to-date on the latest news, deadlines, and reminders.

- Course Materials: Find all your lecture notes, presentations, assignments, and additional resources.

- Assessments: Get details on all quizzes, exams, and projects, including rubrics and submission instructions.

- Additional Resources: Explore helpful online materials related to the course content.

- Contact Information: 

The idea is that you can pin the website to your web browser of choice and once you open up your web browser, you would be able to see important details about INFO 2604 as listed above in bullet points.

This website will be a valuable resource throughout the semester, so I encourage you to bookmark it and check it regularly.  If you have any questions or suggestions for the website, please don't hesitate to let me know!

You can access it here: https://sites.google.com/view/smmclassconnect.

DISCLAIMER: This is a personal project in testing as a feature that other class reps can use in the future, pending the value it adds to students during my testing. You do not have to use it, however, I would grately appreciate it if you do and provide me with feedback so that I can improve the system and layout of the website to make things even more convenient for you all to use

Please see the Feedback form under the About page to share your feedback, if any!

Thank you all for reading this message ✨💚

Do you need a group for Assignment 2?

This is a poll created on the class WhatsApp group chat to get group members for Assignment 2.

How to use the poll:

If you voted for "I need a group for A2 🙋🏽‍♂️" please check the votes and message those who voted for the same option so you can form a group. Once you have decided to work together, update your selection as "I found a group ✅" and keep looking for new members until you filled your group with 4 members, no more no less.
