2/24/19 Info

Remember to make a post in the Week 5 Forum (that's the one you earn points on, not the Questions forum), read the comments and posts from others, and complete Quiz 4 by 2/25/19. We are starting Week 6, so begin Watching/Transcribing videos for 2.4-2.5 in your video notebook. Also, CLICK HERE to schedule an APPT to take Test 2 on one of these dates: 3/14, 3/15, 3/16, 3/25, 3/26, 3/27, 3/28

If you would like to take part in a ZOOM meeting this week, let me know the day/time you prefer and I'll send out info. I'm posting past ZOOM meeting info in MyOpenMath, so you may view/listen at your convenience.

If you did not do well on Test 1, consider doing this: Set aside 2-3 hours every day to work on math. After watching/transcribing a video with examples/solutions, write each problem on your own paper and try without looking to show your work. If you do not get it correct, watch the video or copy it correctly from your notes once more, and then try it again on your own until you can do every problem from the video all on your own. I also suggest putting every problem from a video on an index card, with the solution on opposite side. These are examples you can try throughout the week to make sure you remember how to work through them, and will be useful to do out of order when studying for a test. You can write the section it's from on the index card. It's a good idea to make index cards for all the problems in the packet as well. It's constant review where you can do a problem all on your own without looking that will make a difference. The more practice doing them correctly, the better you'll understand the problem and be able to do it on the test. By the end of the semester, you'll have tons of problems to randomly practice from the index cards which will help you when studying for the final.

2/12/19 Read Forum Posts and Replies

It's extremely important to log in and read all of the forum posts and replies. I reply to most of the, often clarifying information, make corrections, give hints, etc. For instance, some people are confused about how to isolate the absolute value in equations or inequalities, and how to proceed from there. If you or someone makes a mistake, you have the opportunity to learn from those so you don't make the same mistake on a quiz or test. This is the "coming to class" part of this course, and skipping it may mean the difference between passing or not. Please take the time to pay attention to my notes and comments.

Below is a little summary for solving equations and inequalities with absolute values.

A common mistake is how to write the solution to an absolute value equation that has exactly 2 solutions.

For example, if you solve |x + 3|=10, the 2 solutions are 7 and -13. On an online quiz or test, simply list the solutions separated by commas like this: 7, -13

In the packet, you can write these in braces: {7, -13}

Some students are writing the solution like this: (-13, 7). This is wrong. If you use parentheses like this, it includes all the numbers between -13 and 7, and not -13 or 7. Use parentheses for interval notation when it's less than or greater than problems with infinitely many solutions. The other time we use parentheses is when we mean an ordered pair, (x,y). In that case, (-13, 7) is a point on the x-y axis.

If the problem was |x + 3| < 10, we would solve after first writing -10 < x + 3 < 10 to get -13 < x < 7. The answer to this is the interval, (-13, 7).

If the problem was |x + 3| > 10, we would solve after first writing x+ 3 < -10 or x + 3 > 10 to get x < -13 or x > 7.

The answer in interval notation to |x + 3| > 10 is this: (-oo, -13) U (7, oo)

|x + 3|=10, |x + 3| < 10, and |x + 3| > 10 are all different problems, and none have the same solution. Study the differences. These are reviewed on page 100-101 of the Unit 1 packet. You need to know the difference, and also need to practice checking your solutions.

The Week 3 Forum is due this Wednesday. Please make any new posts by today so there is time for a reply!

2/6/19 Math 64 Zoom Meetings

Are you interested in participating in Math 64 Zoom Meetings this Spring?

During these meetings, I use an electronic whiteboard to answer questions, work through problems, etc. It's like a virtual office hour if you can't make it to my regular office on campus.

Please go to the following link, put in your first name and last initial, and click what days/times of the week you might like to participate in a Zoom meeting. If you haven't tried Zoom, it's easy. These are not the real dates. I'm trying to find what day of week and times of day most students would like to meet online for a Zoom meeting. I may have it on different days each week, based on input.

2/6/19 Test 1 Appointments

If you haven't scheduled your appointment to take Test 1 (covering everything in the Unit 1 folder), please do it today. You may schedule it any day/time/location from this Thursday, 2/7, to next Thursday, 2/14, where an appointment is available. You may go to the website, which is up and running now, call them, or email them. CLICK HERE for APC WEBSITE which has link to schedule an APPT, hours of operation, etc.

If you have question or would like to schedule your tests by phone, call Oceanside at 760-795-6685 or San Elijo at 760-757-2121 Ext. 7752.

Students may also email the APC at proctoringcenter@miracosta.edu or come in person to schedule their appointments.

Click here if you will be out of the county during test window dates for info scheduling a test at a different proctoring center .

Not scheduling your test well in advance of the date you want to take it may mean you cannot get an appointment that works for you. Not taking a test for any reason, including an emergency or not being able to get an appointment, results in a zero on that test. Same day appointments and same day appointment changes are not allowed.

Open this folder in MyOpenMath for all info: TEST Info: Instructions, Appt Info, Policies, etc.

If you have not completed Quiz 2, use a Late Pass and finish it ASAP! There isn't time to lag behind, as you should be working on the this week's material. Please make your post in the Week 3 Forum soon so I have time to respond to any of your questions.

2/5/19 Forum Posts

Hi all,

Most of you are following the instructions for the class which is to watch/transcribe the videos for each section first, try the problems done on each video again to make sure you can do them on your own, and then do the problems in the packet, post to the weekly forum, and then complete the online Quiz. Thank you for doing that!

It appears that some students are not watching/transcribing the assigned videos for their own video notebook. That is a mistake as it's important to do that to learn/understand the material, and view examples to help you with your work. On the videos I show steps to many problems which is what I would be doing in the classroom if this class was on campus. Please do not skip this important step. If you practice on your own the problems on the videos, then you should have very little problem doing the problems in the packet, or on the online quiz. I want you to succeed, so please make sure you are putting in time necessary to do just that! You learn by working daily on this class, following the instructions, keeping up with the material, asking question, etc.

Week 3 forum is now open. Everyone should be logging in to read all of the forum posts. Those are part of the class discussion, and even more examples and problems are shown by your classmates in these forums. There have been questions in the forum over problems someone already posted the solution to. Please take note of all the wonderful examples already provided before asking the same question. If you have a question about a problem already posted, you can reply to that post for more help. Please log in throughout the week to check the forum posts. That, again, is part of the "being in a classroom with other students and learning from each other" part of this course. If you wait until the forum is almost closed to make a post, it's usually too late to get an answer or have a discussion. Please post before the day it closes.

2/5/19 Overcoming Math Anxiety and Achieving Success Workshop

2/4/18 Late Pass Change

Remember to complete some problems in Q2 before midnight. Then, if you need more time, use a late pass.

Originally, I stated there would be a 50% penalty for problems done correctly using a late pass after the original due date in the Calendar. I changed this to 30% penalty, so you can always earn at least 70% (grade of C) on a quiz if you complete it before the test while using a late pass! Read specifics below.

Do not open a Quiz in Review Mode if you want to earn more credit on a quiz after the due date! If you do not complete all problems on a Quiz by the due date, use a late pass. A Late Pass gives you a time extension to complete a quiz so you'll see a new due date, but there is a 30% penalty. So you will earn 70% credit on problems done on Quizzes 2-13 after the original due date. Note: This means you can still earn at least 70% on every quiz if you complete it before the test! The latest you may do problems after the due date using a late pass is on the date of the test covering that quiz. To allow you to get used to the system, there is no penalty for doing problems in Quiz 1 (Q1.1-1.4) after the original due date using a late pass. Each late pass extends the due date by 48 HOURS. You need to use a late pass for each extra 48 extension, and may use more than one late pass on each quiz if available. Problems done before the due date always earn full credit even if you clicked to use a late pass, and once you earn credit for a problem, you keep full credit even if you try a similar problem for more practice and answer it wrong! Only problems done after the original due date using a late pass earn less credit. Once a quiz is opened in Review mode, you may not use a late pass to earn more credit on that quiz. BE CAREFUL not to do that!

2/4/19 Test Appointments at APC

The Academic Proctor Center's online system crashed Monday morning, and they are working on it. I'll let you know if I hear when it's working properly again. For now, they are helping by phone until the system is up and running again. So feel free to contact them using the methods below to make an appointment. You may call or email them for help, to ask questions, or to make appointments throughout the semester even if the online system is up and running.

Students can call Oceanside at 760-795-6685 and San Elijo at 760-757-2121 Ext. 7752.

Students may also email the APC at proctoringcenter@miracosta.edu or come in in person to schedule their appointments.

2/4/19 IMPT INFO

Hi all,

There is a lot of important info in this message. Please read all of it and pay attention to the details.

1. I will be conducting a ZOOM meeting this Monday, 2/4/19 starting at 1 pm. Click here to join. I will be answering questions, helping with problems, etc.

2. TEST 1 INFO: Starting Feb 4 (after the APC opens), schedule an appointment to take Test 1 during the Test 1 Window Dates, 2/7-2/14. Appointments are required! If you do not make an appointment ASAP, you may not be able to get one at a time you can make. It is your responsibility to take care of this at least a week before you want to take a test. I can't help you if you put it off. Decide what day/date/time you want to take it and take care of this ASAP to get the appointment that works best with your schedule!

NOTE: SUNDAY, 2/3/19 IS THE LAST DAY TO DROP THIS CLASS TO GET A REFUND AND HAVE NO NOTATION ON YOUR PERMANENT RECORD.

1/31/19 Late Start Math 64-32 (sent to some students)

If you are up-to-date, completed Q1, working on Week 2 material and feeling like the pace of our online Math 64 class is a good fit for you, that's awesome. If not, read the following for other options.

This is a reminder that the drop date to earn a refund and no record on your transcript for this class is Friday, 1/31/19. If you have fallen behind (low score on Q1 or haven't started on Week 2 material yet) and you think you could benefit from taking Math 64-32 instead, please note there are two late-start Math 64-32 classes beginning next week that are listed below. These meet 4 days a week for 2 hours a day, and include a review of Elementary Algebra topics as needed. So you have more time with the instructor to review/learn the material.

1/30/19 Late Pass, Quiz, Forum Info

I hope you are all working on Week 2 material now. It's hard to catch up if you fall behind, so keep up to date and stay ahead of the game. Make sure you make the Week 2 Forum Post well in advance of the due date so there is time for any replies if you have a question. Below is a reminder about Attendance requirements, Late Pass Info, etc. I also posted new videos at bottom.

ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS EACH WEEK TO AVOID BEING DROPPED: POST IN THE REQUIRED WEEKLY FORUM, AND SUBMIT AT LEAST SOME ANSWERS TO EACH ONLINE QUIZ (Q1, Q2, etc) BY THE ORIGINAL DUE DATE. Clicking a late pass and getting a later due date does not count as attendance. If you need time to finish an online quiz, use a Late Pass. Read all the info about Assignments, and Late Passes in this link. You may use more than one late pass on each quiz--each one extends the due date 48 hours from the current due date. Two late passes extends the due date 96 hours. Do NOT open a quiz in review mode if you still want to work on it. Opening in review mode prevents you from using a late pass.

Below are new videos posted that may help some of you that had trouble with Quiz 1. If needed, use a Late Pass to work on Quiz 1.

Click here for a new video posted for simplifying problems like f(x+h), g(x+h) - g(x), etc.

Click Here for a new video to help with Composite Functions

1/30/19 NOTE sent to Students not making a post in the first weekly forum:

Math 64 Forum Attendance Requirement

I'm writing you as you did not make a forum post for Week 1, which is one of the attendance requirements to remain enrolled in Math 64 online. Each week, you need to make a post or reply to a post about a problem in the Unit Packet (not a problem from the online quiz) in the graded Weekly Forum. This is part of your grade, and demonstrates attendance, which is required to remain enrolled. The due date for the first one, Week 1 Forum, was Monday, 1/28/19. It is now closed, but Week 2 is now open until next Monday. Make sure you make a post this week in the Week 2 forum. You'll see the directions you need to follow when you open the forum.

If you have any questions, let me know. I suggest you read some of the forum posts from the first week to get an idea what to do.

The other attendance requirement is to submit at least one problem in each quiz by the original due date (not a later date if you use a late pass). So making a Forum Post and submitting at least one quiz problem are the two attendance requirements each week.

Hope you are doing well, and look forward to your participation in the forum!

1/29/19 New video and Week 1 Forum

Hi all,

I've posted this brand new YouTube video: Evaluating functions: f(x+h), f(x)-g(x), etc.

Also, although Monday before midnight was the due date to make a post or a reply for the Week 1 forum, I'm keeping it open until Tuesday before midnight for replies as some students posted in the wrong forum, or posted about something other than a problem from 1.1-1.4 of the Unit 1 packet. Since this is the first forum, I'm letting you post a reply to someone else's post if you haven't made the correct type of post in this forum yet.

The Week 2 forum is now open. Please discuss problems from 1.5-1.7 in the Packet. If you have other questions, or questions from the quiz, use the Questions forum. Also, post early in week so there is time for replies. I've spent about 5 hours today answering questions in the forum, but I don't usually have that much time to do that. I usually check several times a day, and answer promptly, but it's best if there is plenty of time to reply. Don't wait until the last minute, or even the last day, if possible!

I had a couple zoom meeting today and we went over several problems. If you need help, don't hesitate to reach out!

1/28/19 Zoom Meeting Today at 4:30 pm

Hi all,

I will be conducting a Zoom meeting starting at 4:30 pm today, 1/28/19, that you may access via phone, computer, or smart phone. This is an optional online meeting in real time, and I hope some of you can make it. I will be using an iPad Pro in order to answer any questions by writing and showing steps to any math problems. I'll also answer any other questions you have about the class. This is the first zoom meeting I have set up for a class, so I may be getting used to the system and the way things work. If you have earbuds or a headset, it might be useful. Below are the details for joining. It will end when no students are still in attendance. So if you want to join late, go ahead and try. It may still be going on. We'll have more of these with more notice. I'll be sending out a doodle poll soon to get input on the best days/times of the week there is interest.

1/26/19 Email sent to some students:

To show attendance and not be dropped, you need to log in each week and ALSO submit online work, which means to submit work in an assessment (Intro to Class, Quiz 1) and post in the required Week 1 forum.

I'll be dropping anyone not showing online attendance by doing the three following things. None of these things take very much time, certainly less than the attendance requirement of spending 4 hours online in MyOpenMath each week, or the 4 hours you would spend in a class taught on campus.

1. Complete the Intro to Class assignment immediately. (This is a very short assignment and takes most students 15-25 minutes to complete. It's not math work.)

2. Post in the required Week 1 forum. (This can be a quick reply to someone else's post.)

3. Complete at least one problem in Q1 by Monday. (This shows you have done some math the first week.)

1/26/19 Math 64 Quiz, Late Pass, and Forum Info

I hope your first week of the Spring semester went well and that you are having fun!

You should open and start working on the first quiz, Q1:1.1-1.4, before Monday in order to have time to complete it by the due date. It is in the Unit 1 folder. After opening the folder and clicking on Q1, you will see the videos associated for those problems that you should have transcribed for your own, personal video notes. Scroll down to see all the problems on the quiz. You may do the problems in any order, and keep trying until you get each problem correct. If you are not usually getting the problems correct on the first try without looking back or clicking for help, you should probably try all the problems on the videos again on your own, and redo packet problems. The quiz is like online homework, but you must get the answer correct by the due date to get full credit. Read below for info about using a late pass if you didn't complete and get full credit before the due date. The due date/time for Q1 is Monday, 1/28/19 at 11:59 pm. That is also the due date to post an original post or reply in the Week 1 Forum. No posts are allowed after that, but you may read the posts all semester.

Note about the infinitely symbol, interval notation, and the Math Quill. To write the infinity symbol, click inside the answer box, and you will see a vertical yellow bar to the right. Click on it. Either you'll see the infinity symbol and you can click on it, or first click on the tab that says Intervals if that's what you see. Or you can type it yourself by using two of the lower case letter, o, like this: oo Note it will be marked wrong if you use two of the upper case letter, O, or zeros. So do not write it this way: OO or 00 !!!! Please click here to read more info about the Math Quill and How to Enter Answers in MyOpenMath to avoid being marked wrong. It's also a good idea to do the Short Useful Tutorial: How to use Math Quill in the IMPT INFO folder in MyOpenMath.

Please click here to read full details regarding Assignment and Late Pass Info. Everyone was given a whopping 50 late passes! That is definitely generous and way more than you should need. If you need more time to complete the Intro to Class assignment or any Quiz, click to use a late to get a 48 hour extension from the due date. You can use more than one late pass on an assessment, so if you need 96 hours, you would be using 2 of your late passes. Any problem done correctly before the due date earns full credit even if you already clicked to use a late pass. Any problem done correctly after the due date (using a late pass) earns half credit. The last day to do any problems on a quiz in a unit is on the last date to take the test from that unit.

Have a great weekend!

We are almost done with Week 1. Isn't that exciting?

I hope everyone is following the schedule and learning to navigate MyOpenMath. If not, see the email/announcement from 1/23/19 about the order in which to do everything this first week. Ask any non-personal questions about the class or the Quiz in the non-graded Questions forum so everyone benefits from my reply.

Each week, everyone needs to demonstrate online attendance by logging in and submitting online work, which includes submitting answers in the Quiz and posting in the Required Weekly Forum post by their due dates. For this first week, Monday, 1/28/19, is the due date for posting in the Week 1 Forum and the due date for Q1: 1.1-1.4. Follow the posting instructions for the forum--post about a problem from 1.1-1.4 in the printed Unit 1 Packet. Do not post about a problem in the Q1--those questions go in the other non-graded forum.

I want all of you to succeed, and the main ingredients to doing that are time, energy, and commitment to keeping up with the schedule. Ask questions if you need help. I am happy to meet with you in office hours, talk with you over the phone (send me an email with your phone number and times you may be reached), or conduct a zoom meeting online. There are also many resources available to you on campus. Consider doing work at the Math Learning Center in the library, or booking tutoring appointments. Do whatever it takes to be successful! It will be worth it!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi all,

Make sure your email in SURF and in MyOpenMath is the one you check regularly. Click here to check/update your info in SURF.

I hope you are all enjoying the class. After you do the Intro to Class assignment, follow the steps below as it explains in detail what to do this first week of class. Due dates are in the Calendar.

Also, please carefully read the Instructions for this Class link and the Schedule for all the details. You'll need to purchase the Unit 1 packet in the bookstore or print the PDF at this link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1j-lIrdGtVq5p_hkKTmq7ihAcI2vr55Kz

I DO NOT COLLECT THE UNIT PACKET OR GRADE IT. It's your own written homework you do to prepare for the quizzes and tests, and you use the problems from the packet (not the quiz) to an make the required forum post each week.

The first week covers sections 1.1-1.4: You first watch/transcribe the videos for section 1.1 and complete the problems in the packet for section 1.1. Then you do the same for 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4. Sometime during the week you make a post in the required weekly forum about any problem in the Packet from 1.1-1.4. After doing the problems in the packet, open Q1:1.1-1.4 and complete it. Details are below.

1) Go to https://sites.google.com/site/packet1int/home/p1videos or open up Q1:1.1-1.4 in Unit 1 to view the assigned videos for 1.1-1.4. Below is what you should see for the 1.1 videos.

1.1: Relations and Functions

Watch if interested in more info on Sets: https://sites.google.com/site/harlandclub/Home/math/sets

F1: https://youtu.be/3IjfebJgPP8 [+]

F2: https://youtu.be/NYQPPLpK9Xs [+]

2. Watch and transcribe the 2 videos and organize in your own video notebook for notes.

3. In the Unit 1 packet, do the problems in 1.1 on pages 2-12. Problems that have an asterisk were on one of the assigned videos. It's a lot of pages because there is space to show all your work in the workbook.

NOTE: Anytime this week, make a post in the Week 1 forum by the due date about any problem from 1.1-1.4 in the packet.

4. Go back up to step 1 to view the videos for 1.2, watch/transcribe those, and then do the problems in 1.2 on pages 13-20.

5. Go back up to step 1 to view the videos for 1.3, watch/transcribe those, and then do the problems in 1.3 on pages 21-25.

6. Go back up to step 1 to view the videos for 1.4, watch/transcribe those, and then do the problems in 1.4 on pages 13-20.

The answers to the problems in the Unit 1 packet are at https://sites.google.com/site/packet1int/home/solutions

7. Open up Q1: 1.1-1.4 and complete the problems by the due date. Use a late pass if you don't finish by due date.
