Section 3 Course Expectations
Communication.
The best way to contact me is by using the D2L Brightspace e-mail system which can be accessed from the Classlist. You can use it to send an e-mail to me and/or your classmates. All answers will arrive in your MyPCC email, however. So make sure to check it.
When you email me, include a relevant subject in the "Subject:" or "RE:" section of your e-mail. The subject must include the class you are taking (including the course number) and the topic of your message. Here is an example email subject line: [MTH 111 - CRN 10859]: Confused about Exponents
If your question or comment would be of interest to other students, please ask it in class or post it to the Q&A Discussions area. This way other participants can help answer questions, and all participants will benefit from the answers. Please refer to the information on "netiquette" in the introductory module for guidelines governing the content of written communications.
Responses from Instructor.
I will be checking email at least once on most days of the week. I'll reply to email you send me within 48 hours, though I will make every effort to answer within 24 hours. Any email you sent after 2 PM on Friday I will answer (at the latest) by the following Monday.
I make every effort to grade your One Chance Quiz and your supporting written work within a week after the due date. You can find my detailed feedback on the returned written work for your One Chance Quiz. All other MyLab Math scores will update automatically in D2L.
You can expect the score and feedback on Exams 1 and 2 to be within approximately one week of the exam time.
If you ask for an extension and complete your One Chance Quiz after I graded everybody, I will update your scores potentially not until around the time of the final. All other MyLab Math scores will update automatically in D2L.
Participation Expectations.
In this course, you are expected to join us in class and enter the course several times a week to work on the modules, check email, submit assignments, and participate in office hours. If you are not able to be with us during class, make sure to watch the class recordings and do the class activities to maximize your learning.
