      Class Structure:
      This is a corequisite class, which means there is an extra 2 unit portion designed to give extra support in various aspects of the class. We will only be using Canvas for Math 110.

       

      My class is asynchronous, which means we will not meet online. Course materials, including lecture notes and professor's lecture videos, will be provided on Canvas at the start of the session. All exams will be in the form of Canvas quizzes. The exams will be open for 24 hours, must be completed within 3 hours, and are due by 11:59 PM.


      Access to the textbook , MATH 110/110H: Elementary Statistics, 14th Ed., by Triola, is strongly recommended. Homework assignments will be in the form of discussion threads, non-computer projects, textbook problems, and Canvas exams. Homework assignments will be due periodically. Assignments and due dates will be released when the session starts.

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 and Wednesdays via Zoom sessions. I look forward to working with everyone, and please feel free to email me if you have any questions.
