FA25

Meeting (Sec. 2314):

This class meets entirely in-person on the Petaluma Campus.
- Lectures: PC657 (Call Bldg): Starting Monday Aug 18, we meet twice each week, Mon & Wed 10:30-11:50am. Lectures begin promptly at 10:30; please be on time (or even a bit early)!!
- Labs: PC313 (Ellis Bldg, left of Mahoney Library): Labs meet twice each week, starting on Wednesday Sep 03 (after Monday's Labor Day holiday), at MW 12:30-2:30pm (shortly after lecture)
Canvas: You will access all course information via Canvas, our campus LMS. Set your text and/or email notifications for announcements, assignments, etc. Check Canvas Announcements and email frequently for updates, new assignments, changes, etc.
You are responsible for all lecture/lab content, announcements, assignments, handouts, etc., even if you are late or absent; check with me, your friends, our Canvas website, and my published PPT slides (PDF).
Class Powerpoint slides available: I will post a PDF file of my Powerpoint slides from each lecture on our Canvas web page before or shortly after each lecture topic is completed. Files from FA24 are on Canvas now (and are generally very close to the updated FA25 versions); updates will follow.
You are encouraged to participate in class. Feel free to interrupt me during class (within reason!) to offer comments or questions. If you have recently answered a question vocally, please allow a couple of others to do so before you do so again. ("Shared participation" below)
Attendance: You will register your attendance during every lecture and lab by your sign-in on the class rosters.
Shared participation: You are encouraged to offer answers to questions that I (or others) pose to the class; to encourage participation by all, please refrain from answering a next question until at least 2 others have participated.
During quizzes and lecture exams, in an effort to assist you in maintaining academic integrity, you will be logged in to Canvas, where I can monitor your activity in the Activity Log. No books, notes, phones, googling, texting, emailing, etc. No contact of any sort with or assistance from anyone else, including AI.
Check Email and Canvas frequently for announcements, lecture supplements, study guides, extra credit assignments, lab practice quizzes, grade updates, all of which will help you to be engaged in the class, do better on exams and quizzes, and earn extra credit. I will always notify you when new material is posted.
