Greetings,
Finally we get to be reconnected again. I would like for it to be face to face, but unfortunately the COVID-19 is standing in our way. I hope you are doing well, taking care of yourself and having fun at the same time.
I have posted some lecture for you, but it is for the entire week. Therefore you don’t need to go over everything at once. Just spend 10 to 15 minutes to read some and make sense out of if. If something is not clear to you and you want more detail or any other concern, just email me. I want you to focus more on your other academic classes, so you can send the answer for the short assignments up to Friday.
I miss each and every single one you all very much. Please take good care of yourself, do not procrastinate on your school work, and be kind to your family.
I love you all!!!
