University Courses Online during the Coronavirus Crisis

18 March 2020 by Krzysztof Skowroński Leave a Comment

Those students who have problems with getting information by the university sources: I confirm that the following regular courses continue online (by Zoom video conference system); those of you who have not yet joined the online class, please, contact me by email:

Multiculturalism in Canada and the US (TUE, 18.00-19.30)

Master in Liberal Art (WED, 16.30-18.00)

Rhetoric and Persuasion (English in Public Communication) – (WED, 15.00-16.30)

Rhetoric and Persuasion – EPC two Chinese groups (TUE, 15.00-16.30 and 16.30-18.00)

Please, prepare your devices with cameras – the more solid the better – placed on stable things (a table rather a hand) with headphones and microphones (close to your mouth!!) in a room with REDUCED ECHO (empty rooms not so good as rooms with carpets and curtains) with a friendly background (NOT a door or an entrance behind you!!!) with limited or no people around and/or in the background), your faces close to the camera — all according to visual/digital rhetoric principles. Remember, please, you will be visible and the way you will be visible and hearable will make a difference as far as the quality of your work is concerned.
