Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

This class will expect, but not require, that you are available during the scheduled class period. Questions regarding the material will be taken during the scheduled time. Lectures will be recorded and posted to the course D2L site.  The class will be a mixture of synchronous and asynchronous instruction. There are four days of mandatory attendance: the first day, midterm I, midterm II, and the final. The schedule of these dates is posted on the first day of class.

The class is highly lecture-based, with demonstrations of sample problems. Every class is recorded, but live attendance is encouraged to facilitate discussion and small-group work that solidifies concepts.

Homework is required. You will need the current edition of the text to ensure you are doing the correct homework problems.
There are two midterms and a final exam.

Advice: To prepare for this class, it is imperative that you have a good grasp of your basic unit circle and trigonometry functions [sin, cos, tan]. Additionally, solving for the six unknowns of a triangle, given a subset of them, is critical to success in Statics. Lastly, review vectors: addition, subtraction, dot product, and cross product.

If you have any questions, please contact the Instructor, William "Ike" Eisenhauer (william.eisenhauer@pcc.edu).  Thank you.
