Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

This class is completely designed online. That means, no Zoom meetings are required, instead,  the student can view previous class recordings. My goal is to support you as you develop your statistical literacy. My syllabus for this term isn't ready yet, though here's a link to my last class Winter2024 Link to Syllabus

Videos and Recordings explaining each class topic are available on our course page. I will also be available to support your learning. The course is set up to engage everyone in active participation and learning, acknowledging active lives and/or complicated schedules. 

For this Spring term 2024, the Mathematics department at PCC has determined to do at least two virtual proctored exams. The midterm exam is scheduled (to be determined) in the afternoon of Wednesday of the fifth week of classes and the final exam is scheduled Wednesday afternoon during finals week. There are other proctoring options available, please contact me for more information.

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 virtual proctored exams listed below. 

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.

In this class, we'll do our best to build a supportive, caring learning community! Yep, that means that together, we'll build a class community that is anti-racist, welcomes all faiths, respects both youth, and age, welcomes people from the world over, supports veterans, is feminist, is supportive of people of every sexuality, is supportive of trans- and nonbinary people, and accommodates people everywhere on every ability spectrum.

If you have any questions, please let me know!
