Introduction
I am Frank de los Reyes. I will be your instructor for this class. I have been teaching at College of the Canyons for over twenty-four years in the CAWT department as well as School of Personal and Professional Learning. Online learning could be a little intimidating for some, especially if one is not comfortable using computers. However, this has not stopped students in the past to try and succeed. We have had a lot of good times together in the past and I look forward to having another great term in the summer. Hope to see you all online.
