We will use MyOpenMath "Messages" and the "Forums".
"Messages" is located on the purple horizontal Navigation Bar. It is on the very top of the MyOpenMath Course Homepage. MOM "Messages" allows you to send private letters to the instructor as well. It is a better option because MOM "Messages" allows you to write math symbols, something the Canvas "Inbox" cannot do.
"Forums" is also located on the purple horizontal Navigation Bar. It contains four (4) forums called Autobiography, General Communications, Math Questions, and Student Conversations.
General Communications - This forum serves two (2) purposes. (a) The instructor will post helpful hints, reminders, and other important course information; and (b) Students can ask non-math related questions such as those pertaining to course policies and procedures, report typos, and share other general concerns!
Autobiography - Students must post their autobiography in this forum.
Math Questions - Math questions will be answered in this forum.
Student Conversations - Students may start conversations with their peers. The instructor will not participate in these conversations but will monitor them.
The free online conference room called Zoom will be used for our class meeting, for contact (office) hours, and any other face-to-face meetings. You can find the Zoom Download Page at https://zoom.us/download#client_4meeting.
Once Zoom is downloaded to your computer, you will find the following icon on your monitor.
Click on the icon and you will be asked to input the following information:
