Comprehensive Workshop Protocols, Accessibility Guidelines, and Attendance Procedures

The professor emphasizes the importance of students being prepared for the academic workshops.
Students are instructed to submit all questions through the platform's chat feature during the workshops.
Dr. Ellsworth is scheduled to conduct the workshop on the following Wednesday.
For sessions led by the current professor, questions submitted to the chat will be monitored and addressed at designated intervals during the lecture.

Dr. Ellsworth will provide the chat log from the Wednesday workshop to the primary professor.
The professor will compile a list of responses to all questions recorded in that chat log.
This list of answers is intended to be released as a Canvas announcement.
The professor aims to distribute this announcement prior to the next scheduled meeting in the following week to ensure all student inquiries are fully addressed.

Information regarding student questions was collected through a prior syllabus quiz.
Specific attention was directed to question number $15$ of the syllabus quiz, which allowed students to submit their own questions.
The professor has already begun providing answers to these specific questions within the grading feedback as the quizzes were reviewed.

The professor mandates the use of the chat function for all communication during the workshop for two specific reasons:
- Documentation: Using the chat provides an official record of the questions and responses for both the students and the instructor.
- Accessibility: The professor discloses a hearing disability, noting that they are "deaf enough" to potentially misinterpret or fail to hear spoken words correctly. Written communication ensures that the professor accurately understands and addresses the student's needs.

Attendance for the course sessions is recorded through a digital quiz conducted on the Socrative platform.
To participate, every student is required to navigate to the website socrative.com to complete the necessary attendance activity.

Inquiry Prompt: The professor opened the floor for student inquiries by saying, "Any questions to this point? Give me your questions because I know you have them. Put them in the chat. K?"
Audience Question: A student asked for clarification on whether they could verbalize their question: "Was it if I can if I can say to you, doctor?"
Professor's Response: The professor declined verbal questions and reiterated the preference for the chat, stating: "I would appreciate it if you put them in the chat so that we have a record and so that—because I'm also one of my disabilities is I'm just deaf enough that I will misinterpret what you said, or I won't understand what you said. Okay?"
