My name is Alina Birca and I have been a professor in the Mathematics and Computer Science Department at Mt. SAC since 2005. I would like to give you a small glimpse of my online class structure, so that you know what to expect in my class.

 

In my Spring 2021 Math 130 class:

My class is a combination of synchronous and asynchronous learning, which means we will meet on Zoom on Thursday, and you will work independently the rest of the week. You are expected to participate on Zoom via Zoom Chat, Speaking, Breakout Rooms. Professor's Lecture Videos, Publisher Videos, and Handouts will be provided on Canvas every Thursday, Friday. Assignments and due dates will be released on Thursday, Friday. A physical copy of the textbook is not required. Access to MyMathLab is required. MyMathLab access will come with digital access to the ebook. Homework assignments will be in the form of Textbook Problems, Video Quizzes, Lecture Notes. All exams will be in the form of PDF Uploads, MyLab Assessments. The exams will be conducted on Zoom during class time.

 

 

My office hours for this class will be held on Tuesday via Zoom sessions.
