2. My name is Evania
Netto and I am very
happy to be your
facilitator in this
online experience.
I hope that you
enjoy the course
and that you take
the most of it.

3. Now we have some instructions
to help you with what to do
every week.

4. On Monday of each week, at
1:00 pm Brasilia time, we will
make the week's work
available to you.

5. Every week, you will have the week's
goal set out for you. You can click on the
title and see what is in store for you that
week.

6. • As well as the goals, each week
brings a lesson covering the questions
of the week. You can go through each
explanation from start to finish, or
choose to look only at the ones you
have doubts with.

7. • You can go back and view anything
as often as you wish, and at any point,
if you feel ready, you may go to
something else.

8. Also available each week, you will have
practice exercises.

9. • Again, you can go through and try
each exercise from start to finish, or
try only the ones you want to
reinforce.

10. • You may re-do the exercises as often
as you like or skip the ones you are
sure about.

11. • At any point, if you have any doubts,
you may send me an e-mail at the
address you will find on our database,
or post it to our class help desk forum
and let your colleagues help.

12. Finally, there are only a few truly
mandatory activities, which will help
me assess your progress.

13. Every week there will be an
assignment you are required to
complete. This is an interactive
assignment posted on the weekly
forum.

14. Every two weeks there will be
a quiz, elaborated based on the
problems or difficulties students
present in the assignments.

15. You will not be graded in
these activities, and you may
re-do or edit them as often as
you wish. It is your
participation and improvement
that we are interested in.

16. Remember, these activities will
be available to you on Friday, so you
have time to work with the lessons
and exercises before you try them.

17. At the end of the course, the
final examination will be made
available to you. This test you may
take only once.

18. There is no minimum grade
necessary for you to receive your
certificate of completion, but if you
achieve a minimum of 75%, your
certificate will state that you have
completed the course with honors.

19. If you weren't able to complete all the
mandatory tasks within the week, you
can still do them during the weeks
that follow. However, the deadline for
completion of the course is December
5.

20. This means that you must submit or
post all mandatory work until
December 5. If you encounter any
problems with this deadline, please
send me an e-mail explaining the
problem and we will try to find a
solution, if at all possible.

21. I'll be happy to
answer any further
questions by e-mail,
but for now, click on
other areas of our
course and discover
what we have made
available for
you. Enjoy it!
