I am looking forward to working with you this term! To be prepared for class when it starts, please keep reading for important details.

--------------------

Please purchase the REQUIRED MTH 95 Course Packet (Blank Lecture Outlines) from the Bookstore, as you will be taking notes and submitting them for grading.

Virtually proctored exams will be required for class. 

Virtually Proctored Exams: Proctored exams are one of many assessment tools used in MTH to assess student learning. Our class will be participating in a Virtual Proctoring Pilot that is being run in collaboration with Math, Online Learning, and the Testing Center.  Please review the  for important information and requirements.

The exams in this class will be proctored virtually in Zoom with me, your instructor, TENTATIVELY on the following dates and times.  Exam dates will be finalized when the term begins and if there is a conflict for you, we will be able to reschedule your exam(s) using the testing center.

• Midterm 1 Exam on Thursday, April 24rd, 2025 from 10 am to 12 pm (noon) on Zoom
• Midterm 2 Exam on Thursday, May 22nd, 2025 from 10 am to 12:20 pm on Zoom
• Final Exam on Tuesday, June 10, 2025 from 10 am to 12 pm (noon) on Zoom

Virtually proctored exams require:

1. a modern computer (desktop or laptop) with a supported operating system (Windows or Mac)
2. a broadband internet provider or mobile carrier with LTE or better service
3. a microphone,
4. a detachable webcam or mobile device (such as a smartphone, tablet, etc.), and
5. a quiet, isolated, well-lit location. 

If you do not meet the requirements listed above, prefer to take your exams in-person, and/or have an unavoidable scheduling conflict, please contact me as soon as possible; with adequate notice,  alternative testing arrangements can be made for an in-person exam at a testing center. Scheduling appointments with a testing center is the responsibility of the student, as well as paying any associated fees with using a non-PCC testing center. 

If you have accommodations through Accessible Ed & Disability Resources, please contact AEDR to have accommodations sent to me and plan on meeting with me so we can discuss your specific accommodations. 

If you have any questions or concerns about virtually proctored exams, please feel free to contact me.

*Virtual proctoring means having your exam proctored by an approved proctor on Zoom on a specific day and time. 

**In-person proctoring means having your exam proctored by an approved proctor at an in-person testing facility on a specific day and time.  This will be the same exam as the rest of the class but you are able to come into a physical location to have it proctored.
