Introduction
I am Maral Markarian. I am your instructor for this class. I have been teaching at College of the Canyons for over five years in the CAWT department as well as Continuing Education. 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 while learning about computers and Microsoft Applications. I hope to have another great term with you. I am looking forward to seeing you all online on the Canvas ZOOM screen.
