IMPORTANT COURSE INFORMATION
Hello!
Welcome to my course page! Here is some additional course information:
(1) This is a 16-week late-start course that begins on Tue., Sep. 2, 2025 (not Mon. Aug. 18 )
(2) This course does NOT meet weekly, however, there are four in-person Tuesday meetings (including the final exam): 9/23, 10/21, 11/18, and 12/16 from 6:10 PM-8:00 PM on Ocean Campus. This is an "asynchronous online" course, which means students do not have to attend live sessions (Zoom or in-person) at specific times. Instead, they can access course materials (like videos, lecture notes, Ebook, discussions, and assignments) at any time that works for them.
(3) This course uses Stewart's Calculus (Early Transcendentals), 8th Edition, as well as WebAssign. This textbook is included in your CCSF fees through the FOLLETT ACCESS inclusive access program, and the materials will be available through our Canvas course site. The bookstore currently has the 9th edition listed, but this is not correct!
(4) If you have any questions, just ask! My email is astevens@ccsf.edu or alice.stevens@mail.ccsf.edu.
ADD PROCEDURE
If the class is full, you can add yourself to the waitlist (before the course begins). If a seat becomes available, the next student on the waitlist is notified by email and has 24 hours to respond and register. Warning: if you fail to register in 24 hours, you will have to get back on the waitlist again! Check your official CCSF Gmail email frequently!
If the waitlist is full, you must wait for a spot on the waitlist to open up (this happens sporadically).
Important: Waitlists disappear on the first day of our class. If you were on the waitlist but were not offered a spot in the class before the first day of class, please fill out a Class Add Request in the MyRam Portal by noon on the first day of our class and email me. If spots open up in the class, I will approve your add request, then you must register for the class. If you do not register in 24 hours, I might give your spot to another student.

If you need help, you can go to the Online Course Support Center.
Online Homework & Textbook:
You will need to purchase access for the WebAssign online homework system. Note: you will access our WebAssign course (ebook and online HW) through Canvas, not directly through the WebAssign website! (You will receive an error message if you try to access the WebAssign materials before our course begins!)
We will use the textbook "Calculus, Early Transcendentals," 8th edition, by James Stewart.
Initial contact
Be sure to check your CCSF Gmail regularly and ensure that 110A emails are not being sent to the spam folder.
Approximately 2-4 days before the start of class, I will send an email to all registered students with important information about the course. If you do not receive this email, contact me at astevens@ccsf.edu.
You will also receive a "Welcome to Canvas" email with log-in Instructions for our 110A course site.
I look forward to meeting you!
