Details about this class

Weekly lecture will be delivered remotely.  To attend, you go to D2L and into our class and then click 'Online classrooms' to attend at 9am on Monday and Wednesday. The lecture lasts from 9am to 11:20am.  If you are unable to attend at the scheduled time, you will view the recording of the lecture a couple hours after the lecture ends.

This class is delivered remotely similar to an online class except that there is a weekly lecture for our class.  Instructor and students do not meet physically except that there are 2 exams that need to be taken at ZOOM and proctored by the instructor.

Students can work on the class whenever they wish but need to meet deadline each week. Students can text or call instructor from 8am to 8pm everyday. If students are unable to finish weekly assignment before the deadline, contact instructor for extension.

Students will be able to call or text instructor any day and any time for help as often as needed. No appointment is needed.

Technology

We use Aleks (you will need to purchase a code and etextbook to use that site) for our class.  Some assignments are done at Aleks and the etext is included in Aleks. No physical book is required since etext is included in Aleks. You do not need to buy a calculator since most cell phones have a simple calculator and a scientific calculator. You do need a webcam for taking the exams at Zoom.

All assignments are done online except there are 2 exams that you must take them proctored at ZOOM 

No show policy

Your instructor can mark you as a "no show" if you do not participate in your class during the first week. This will remove you from the class.
