Current Teaching Schedule, 2023-2024
Clark Mathematics Department recently decided to convert College Algebra, Trigonometry, and Calculus I fully online classes to a hybrid model that requires two mandatory proctored exams per quarter held on-campus. That goes against what I believe about assessments (including that high-stake exams do NOT assess student understanding), online classes (that they should be FULLY online), and, in my opinion, is a huge step backwards in pedagogy and innovation. Thus, sadly, I will no longer be teaching Math 110, 111, 103, 151 at Clark College, which has been most of the courses I've taught over the past 27 years. My 2023-2024 schedule is all FULLY ONLINE asynchronous, all using WebAssign (except one Trig) for etext, assignments, tests: In fall term I'm also beginning service on the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) committee at Clark. |
