I have been a professor in the Mathematics and Computer Science Department at Mt. SAC since 2000.  I have taught all levels of mathematics courses at Mt. SAC from Algebra to Calculus.  It's been a great pleasure to watch students learn mathematics and make progress in their educational endeavors.


I am so excited that you have decided to take Precalculus Mathematics ! Your success is important to me, so to help prepare you for the next part of your educational journey, I would like to share some information with you about my courses and classroom environments.

    • Math 160 Winter 2023

      Online Class Search:
      ** This class will display as "Online" with a Meeting Time, and as "Web" on a separate line in the online class search, to indicate a fully online class that has both a synchronous component (scheduled class meetings via Zoom) and an asynchronous component (independent work).


      Prerequisites: Math 150 or Appropriate Placement


      Class Structure:
      My class is a combination of synchronous and asynchronous learning, which means we will meet on Zoom on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and you will work independently the rest of the week. You are expected to participate on Zoom via Zoom chat, speaking, breakout rooms, and polls. Course materials, including lecture notes, professor's lecture videos, and supplemental YouTube videos, will be provided on Canvas. Exams will be in the form of PDF uploads and MyOpenMath assessments, and will be conducted on Zoom during class time.


      We will be using a zero-cost textbook for this class! A physical or digital copy of the textbook , MATH 160: Precalculus, OpenStax, is required. Access to MyOpenMath (Free) is required. Homework assignments will be in the form of worksheets, online homework, take-home quizzes (not proctored / timed), and groupwork. Homework assignments will generally be due on Sundays.

Our classroom environment will be one that supports your diverse perspectives and honors your identities. Names are very personal and very powerful. The name by which we choose to be called represents who we are. I recognize that calling students by their preferred name is crucial to ensuring that the classroom environment (whether in person or online) is a safe and inclusive space for learning. If you have a preferred first name that you would like me to use, or would like to share your pronouns with me, please feel free to let me know!


I would also like to take a moment to acknowledge that Mt. SAC is geographically situated on the traditional lands of the native, indigenous peoples whose land was taken from them. I ask you to join me in acknowledging their community, their elders both past and present, as well as future generations. May we strive to honor the land and the people who have stewarded it throughout the generations.


Please make sure to log in to your Canvas courses daily to keep up with all announcements, materials, and due dates. Canvas can be accessed through your Mt. SAC portal or at https://mtsac.instructure.com.


My office hours will be held on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays via Zoom sessions and email. I look forward to working with everyone, and please feel free to email me if you have any questions.


The Math and Computer Science Department is committed to helping our students achieve their math educational goals. We want you to succeed and excel in transfer-level mathematics.
