More About The Course

This course is facilitated using the Canvas learning management system and the McGraw-Hill Connect Software (students are required to purchase this software) in a weekly modular format. Students are required to complete weekly assignments and listen to recorded lectures for each topic. Given the online nature of the course, a successful student must be disciplined and motivated as well as possess good time management skills. This course requires active participation from the student. Logistically, each student is required to have a webcam, microphone and a stable internet connection (newer or more recent laptops may have these features already built in). There are three exams (two midterms and a final) given in the course. The exams are administered online using the Canvas LMS which is paired with the McGraw-Hill publisher's website. Each exam session is timed along with the use of algorithmic questions to ensure the highest level of academic integrity. Any instances of academic misconduct are quickly reported to the instructor and disciplinary action is taken as appropriate as outlined in the syllabus according to the university’s policies and procedures.
