What's my role?
What's my role?
As your professor, I am your first contact for help you need in this course. I am here to help you and support you in any ways that I can. If something doesn't make sense, sounds confusing, get 'stuck' on a homework problem, have concerns, vent, need a 'moral support' or you'd just like more information, let me know. You can always reach me at lnakamura@miracosta.edu or you can message me via XYZ-Homework, or Canvas. If you're having difficulty using Canvas, let me know. But if Canvas and/or XYZ-Homework stop working for some reason or you're experiencing technical issues, please see Canvas and XYZ-Homework Assistance below.
