Week 6 Live Assessment

Q Each week I will host a live Thursday night 7:00 pm session via Collaborate Ultra. It will be scheduled for one hour but may take less time if there are few questions. The session will include an assignment that will count toward your course grade. However, the session will be recorded and made available in Collaborate Ultra for your review if you choose to not attend or are unable to attend. So, you can complete the assignment without attending the event in real time.

The weekly live session includes a discussion of how each of the topics do, or do not, relate to B&L Pools, a small chain of pool supply and repair centers.
