For each problem on myopenmath, there is a message instructor link on myopenmath.

When you ask, attach a picture of your computation with your description of something you do not understand.

I will try to respond within 24 hours.

You can extend the due date of some homework up to 24 hours if you use late pass before due date.

Online Attendance Policy (Read Carefully.)

An Unexcused absence result in 1 attendance penalty. One late mark (20 min after a class begins) counts as 0.5 attendance penalty. If you are present 50 min after a class begins or if you are present for 50 % of the class or less, then you will be marked as absent. To excuse your absences, a proper document with early notice is necessary.

If your attendance penalty is over 5, you may receive Failing grade including F, WN and WU.

WU grade policy(QCC): If a student attended at least once, and then completely stop attending any time prior to final exam week without officially withdrawing. (Do not miss the final exam.)
