Getting Started, a pre-module

Welcome to the pre-module for this course. It’s aimed to give you an overview of what you’ll find throughout this site and how you will be using it throughout the semester.

This course site is the main hub for this class. Everything that you need to be successful is here. In fact, there’s a lot of material here and it may be a bit overwhelming.

This pre-module is to help you find your way around the course site and to get you set up to be able to contribute assignments to it.


You’ve probably all heard your instructors say “It’s on the syllabus…” In this case, it’s all on the course site! (Syllabus too!)

You can find everything due for each class under the Weekly Checklist.

Each week of class has a module that is due on Tuesday. The modules include readings, videos, vocal exercises, and other activities. They’re designed to be gone through in order and you’ll find that they stretch across a number of linked pages.

Be mindful of any instructions that tell you if something is optional, will be done in class, etc. as you make your way through.

In-person assignments and other performance assignments will have varying due dates that will be listed on the Weekly Checklist.

Sometimes things change – I regularly update materials across the site and post announcements, but don’t be afraid to email me if something is missing or isn’t working.

Please watch this overview of the course site

Hopefully, you’re now feeling a bit more confident with how to find what you’ll need.

The next part of this module will tell you a bit more about the CUNY Academic Commons that hosts this site and help you get set up with an account that will enable you to contribute materials.
