Virtual Class
Owing to the precautions taken to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus throughout the
country, the Pima College Administration has decided that DAR221 is will be presented as a
fully online (virtual) class. We will not be meeting in person and you will be performing your
work at home or in one of the computer labs on the West campus. We will have regularly
scheduled Zoom Meeting classes on Wednesdays at 5:45 -8:00PM. You will receive an
invitation on D2L announcements and on the DAR221 Blog. The classes will be recorded so
that you can review them at any time but you are required to attend the live online class
unless you notify me that you will not be attending. Please pay close attention to submission
deadlines and specifications and check the blog frequently for updates. All of files for the
modules, quizzes and exams are online in the DAR221 Drive. You will source images for the
creative projects elsewhere. You may e-mail me at any time at sromaniello@pima.edu if you
have questions. You can also set up a phone or zoom appointment.

Steve Romaniello is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
