ConferZoom Class Meetings

The dates for upcoming meetings are listed below.

The recordings of all of these meetings are posted in the modules section here a few hours after the meeting ends. There are links to two locations where you can view the meeting at any time. One link will take you to my You-tube channel (Dr. Allen Hope). You may watch it there. There are other recorded videos from previous nutrition classes that I have taught at Valley College also. The other link will take you to the cloud recording (zoom). You may watch it there if you chose. The recording there will have closed captioning as well as a typed transcript of the audio on the right while you watch the video.I have set up ConferZoom meetings for this course (7 total). They are set up to occur on Monday evenings from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. (beginning the first day of class).

The reason they are scheduled for the evening is because some people might be working during the day and unable to attend. To be honest, there is not a time that I can choose that is ideal for everyone. Try not to miss them, however if you cannot attend one of the meetings, they will all be recorded and posted to this canvas site in modules section (recorded Conferzoom class meetings here) for you to view anytime you want. If you miss one of the meeting, it will be recorded for you to view later. The conferzoom video quiz will still be available for you to take. All of the Conferzoom video quizzes are open until Dec. 18th. However, you need to watch the recorded video in order to obtain the three codes that you enter on the ConferZoom video quiz test. Please keep in mind that watching the recording will not benefit you as much as actually attending the meeting on zoom, because when you attend the meeting live, you can ask questions, make comments, you name it. I try to have a relaxed atmosphere at these meetings. Not all of these meetings will last the entire 2 hours scheduled. I will allow student interaction during these meetings (just like we would have being together in an actual classroom). We will have a relaxed atmosphere in these meetings and lots of interaction (not just me lecturing to you the entire time, although there will be some of that). You do not have to use a webcam, but you at least need a microphone so we can communicate verbally. Guys, you must wear a tie (no tie, no meeting). (no way, I won't wear one either). If you are using a cell phone, tablet, etc. , you might have trouble logging into the meetings. These are recommended meetings. There will be a very short three question quiz that you must take in order to receive the 15 points of credit for attending the meeting. This quiz has only 3 questions. You will be asked to enter the three-digit code which was given to you during the meeting. There will be three times a code will be given to you during the meeting, once at the beginning, once in the middle of the meeting and once at the end of the meeting. At the end of the meeting, I will activate the test and you will enter the three codes. I will make the codes very clear and it will be something you do not even have to think about during the meeting. I will announce it loud and clear, you can't miss it, unless you are sleeping or have left the meeting. All you have to do is jot the three codes down during the meeting. The tests will say: What is code #1, code #2 and code #3. (simple stuff). You must take the test in order to receive the 15 points of credit for attending the meeting. The reason I do not ask you to remember other information about the meeting is because my experience has been that students worry too much about what questions are going to be asked on the test at the end of the meeting and that interferes with learning. This creates more of a relaxing atmosphere and allows me to instruct you as if I was standing directly in front of you in a classroom. This is basically free 15 points just for attending. I realize you could log in, go and watch TV and not really listen, but I hope these lectures are interesting enough that you won't do that. These weekly zoom conference (class meetings) will cover topics that are relevant to the upcoming tests as well as very important information on nutrition that you will not hear elsewhere. I think you find them very informative. Have your study-guides with you. I will go over some of the tougher questions. I will also go over some of the Power-point slides.
