CLASS OVERVIEW
My classes are fully-online conducted asynchronously in Canvas with support from an online digital learning platform (e.g. WebAssign, MyMathLab, Knewton Alta). They are NOT "remote learning" format, thus have no real-time class meetings (i.e. NO Zoom). You will "go to class" in Canvas. The modules in Canvas will guide you through the weekly requirements and content including linking to the e-textbook, video tutorials, mini-lectures and examples, resources, assignments, and assessments.
MANDATORY ORIENTATION REQUIREMENTS
The MANDATORY ORIENTATION is held in your Canvas online classroom on the first four days of the term. Failure to complete any of the three orientation requirements properly and on time will result in your being no-show dropped from class.
Day #1:
Before 11:59 pm (PT) on the first day of the quarter:
REQUIRED (3 pts): Login to Canvas and enter your math class. Post your introduction in the "Introduce Yourself" discussion (Orientation module >> "Mandatory Orientation Assignment: Introduce Yourself").
By the end of day #2:
Before 11:59 pm (PT) on the second day of the quarter:
RECOMMENDED (2 pts): Read other students' introductions and reply to a couple. Maybe something you have in common? Or something that sparked your interest? Share a kindness with a classmate :)
REQUIRED: Familiarize yourself with the class layout. Take note of the items in the "Start Here" orientation module. Read the Syllabus.
By the end of day #4:
Before 11:59 pm (PT) on the fourth day of the quarter:
REQUIRED (3 pts): Complete and submit the checkpoint assignment. See Canvas for details.
