Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

This is a remote class with scheduled class meetings held over Zoom. You will be expected to attend class sessions regularly in order to be successful in the course. Class meetings will consist primarily of interactive lectures and group lab work. Your overall grade will be based on quizzes, a midterm exam, a final exam, weekly online homework through Webwork, and lab participation and reports.

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. 

• Midterm Exam on Tuesday, May 7th from 8:30AM to 11:20AM on Zoom
• Final Exam on Thursday, June 13th from 8:00AM to 9:50AM on Zoom

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 will need functional access to the internet in order to attend scheduled class meetings via Zoom.

You will need to upload assignments to D2L in PDF form. If you write exams by hand, you will need to have a way to scan and upload your written work. Many students use a phone or tablet along with the Adobe Scan app for this purpose.

If you plan to take proctored exams remotely, you will need additional technology (see the "Proctored Exams" section on this page).
