Section Expectation
Required Course Materials: Online Homework Access
You will need an access code for WebAssign online homework. The access code can be purchased directly from WebAssign once the course Brightspace page is open.
There is a free trial period (about 14 days, I believe) for WebAssign. I recommend taking advantage of the free trial period before purchasing anything. Once you purchase access to WebAssign, it is completely non-refundable.
Students will be expected to spend 2-3 hours per week on this class. This includes watching instructional videos and doing homework.
This class is offered remotely asynchronously. There is no need to travel to campus to take any of the quizzes or exams.
Evaluation
Grades will be based on several homework assignments (unlimited attempts).
