Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

Hi! My name is Wendy Fresh and I will be teaching this Online Mth 112 class.

I'm looking forward to working on math with you! Our online course is asynchronous, which means we will not have regular meeting times. I hope you get a lot of this course, and please know I am here to support you however I can. If you ever have questions or concerns, feel free to send me an email (wfresh@pcc.edu).

Every remote and online math course will use instructor-hosted virtual proctoring as the default means through which they proctor exams.

Proctored Exams: Proctored exams are one of the many assessment tools used in MTH/STAT courses to assess student learning. For in-person sections, exams are proctored in-person on campus during class time. For remote sections, exams are primarily proctored virtually by the instructor in Zoom during remote class time. For online sections, exams are primarily proctored virtually by the instructor in Zoom on dates/times scheduled by the instructor. 

The exams for this class will be proctored virtually by me (your instructor) on the following dates and times; please make every concerted effort to attend my virtually proctored exams listed below. 

• Exam 1 in Week 4 from TBD on Zoom (check-in will begin 40 minutes before)
• Exam 2 in Week 8 from TBD on Zoom (check-in will begin 40 minutes before)
• Final Exam in Final Exams week from TBD on Zoom (check-in will begin 40 minutes before)

To have your exam proctored virtually, you must fully read and understand the Student Guide to Virtually Proctored Exams in Zoom and meet the technology/environment requirements; technology support will not be provided on exam day. Virtual proctoring was designed and piloted in collaboration between Math, Online Learning, and the Testing Center. 

If you do not meet the requirements for virtually proctored exams, prefer to take your exams in-person, and/or have an unavoidable scheduling conflict, please contact me as soon as possible. Alternative testing arrangements can be made for virtual or in-person proctoring at a testing center given adequate notice and depending on testing center capacity and availability. Scheduling appointments with a testing center and communicating with the instructor is the responsibility of the student, as well as paying any associated fees with using a non-PCC testing center. 

If you have accommodations through Accessible Ed & Disability Resources at PCC, please contact me so we can discuss your specific accommodations and how I can best support you. 

If you have any questions or concerns about virtually proctored exams, please feel free to contact me.

You should have access to a scanner or scanning app. In addition, access to a graphing device, either handheld or Desmos online (free) is required.
