 Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty - a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture.  Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)

This course covers the same material as the on-campus version and is presented as 15 modules in a 17-18-week format. Although the course is not "self-paced", you can decide when, during each week, to do all the required work. The typical student spends about 12-15 hours per week to master the material for this 4-unit course. Course requirements include projects and discussion postings, weekly online homework assignments and proctored examinations. Students are required to use an interactive online program (Course Compass)  to master the material and complete assignments. Students may have a note card for each exam so memorizing formulas will not be necessary. Students are requested to attend one of the scheduled orientations at the beginning of the semester.

Note:  Both sections have scheduled multiple choice exams on Saturdays.  Section 5002 meets in the mornings and Section 5003 meets in the afternoons. All students are required to show a valid photo ID when they come to take the scheduled exams. 

Cick on the syllabus to the left for more detailed information. 

To access the course during the first week of classes go to http://coursecompass.com  

When classes are full, I will only be adding waitlisted students who attend one of the scheduled face to face orientations.

This course will cover the same material as the 18-week Fall/Spring course but will be presented in a 9 Module 6-week format so be prepared to put in about 25 hours per week to master the material.   All students are encouraged to attend an orientation. All sections have a scheduled on campus orientation meeting and I have also scheduled an alternate online orientation through http://cccconfer.org. Login information is on the syllabus.   Please read the syllabus (link on the left) for details. During the orientations I will be demonstrating the course management system and answering questions. Students wishing to add should join a waitlist and attend the face to face orientation in hopes of obtaining an add code. In addition to the orientations there will be 3 face to face exams on the Pleasant Hill campus.

Note:  Sections 5029 and 5037 will have multiple choice exams given on Saturdays at 9am.  Section 5022 will have computer-assisted exams on Fridays at 9am. All students are required to show a valid photo ID when they come to take the scheduled exams.
