Math 90 Hybrid (In person final exam , the rest is online), 12 weeks

How Does the Class Work Overall?

Our class is hybrid, online except for an in person final exam on the CCSF Ocean Campus (with room location to be announced).  Sign up for our class only if you are able to attend the in person final exam (see below; if you are not able to attend the in person final exam on this day please be sure to sign up for one of the online classes we offer at CCSF). Students will learn the material from watching instructional videos (some of which are created by yours truly), forum posts, and reading the textbook. We will have online participation that is mandatory to remain in the class in the form of online forums where you can ask questions about the homework problems as they come up, and where you can get feedback from myself and each other. In addition to forum posts, we will have homework, quizzes, and exams.

Adding the Class

I will be adding students during the first week of classes depending on availability of space. Please see Adding Classes at CCSF and please submit a 'Class Add Authorization Request' in Web4. I will then approve or deny it based upon availability.

Initial Contact

After you register be sure to regularly check your @ccsf.edu e-mail account. Approximately 1-2 weeks before the class starts I will send an e-mail to all registered students with important information about the class.

Mandatory Meetings

In person final exam on May 17th, 1:10-4 pm .

Canvas

The online 'hub' that will have many of our important class resources (forums for postings, announcements of homework assignments and quizzes, the gradebook, etc.) is located on a CCSF system called 'Canvas'. You will have to set up your Canvas account (CCSF will send you instructions on how to do that a few days before classes begin). Canvas is our way of communicating to each other and keeping track of what's happening in the class. Notice above that I said announcements of homework and quizzes will be on Canvas. You actually go to another site to do the homework and quizzes. Where? Good question!

Homework and Quizzes

Homework, quizzes, and all exams except for the final exam will be through a homework platform called WebAssign (this will be linked through our course and navigated to through Canvas).

Purchase of access to WebAssign is required and is done through the CCSF bookstore (this purchase includes the ebook, you don't need the physical textbook).

All grades will be posted in Canvas.

The Textbook

Important: We will be using WebAssign / Cengage for our homework platform this semester. WebAssign includes the eBook for you to have access to. You can click HERE to watch a walk-through video on how to access our course. It is important to note that this course is a part of the CCSF Bookstore’s Inclusive Access / Follett Access program. This means that the charge of the materials will automatically be added to your account. This will give you full access to the materials needed in this class. It will NOT give you access to a physical print text. If you wish to OPT OUT of this charge and purchase the physical text + WebAssign access at the bookstore, please head to https://includedcp.follett.com/Optin/1325 . You can also find more information regarding how to Opt Out in your school email from the bookstore. 

Drop Policy

Students who do not post in the forums for two weeks will be dropped from the class. Also students who do not complete any activity in the first week (homework, posting in the forums, etc) of class will be dropped .
