INTRODUCTION - Spring 2009

Hello! And, welcome to the 2009 Spring Quarter at Seattle Central Community College. My name is Gregg Harbaugh, Ph.C.

If you are a new student, I hope this course proves to be a pleasant introduction to our school. If you are a returning student, my goal is to provide you with the same high-quality learning environment you have come to expect at this institution.

This blog contains all of the necessary information regarding this course. Additions will be made to this page on a (nearly) daily basis. Please check here often for the course schedule, regulations and announcements.

Please take the following introductory survey. This will help me get to know my students better.
