Subject: STS 110-Skills to Success Check-in Hi Alex,
I hope this finds you well! This is your instructor from your Skills to Success class at Bellevue University.
I noticed a number of missing assignments and just wanted to reach out to see if I can be of help.
Please let me know how I can best support you. If you’d prefer, I’d be happy to talk to you over the phone or video conference via Zoom.
Hope to hear from you soon! |
