Science Online Class information

Hi folks,

I'm still trying to tweak all this technology so that everyone can have the best easiest safest experience possible so here's a couple of new updates.

1.  I'm going to try posting the links to class to the Canvas site.  I'm going to post these as announcements so they should be right there when you log in.  Several folks have had their emails delayed for some reason and so they haven't been getting the emails on time.  I'm hoping this fixes that problem.  I will probably continue to send the links to class in emails as well.

2.  I'm going to start locking the classroom after about 5 minutes or so of class.  There are quite a few shenanigans going on out there with Zoom so I feel I need to lock down the classroom.  I've tried using the password option but there appears to be no way that I can see to keep someone in class from inviting their friends and sharing the password.  So, if you are late to class PLEASE TEXT ME! (919) 907-3217  I will try to keep my phone handy so that I can let you in.  

Best,

Jim Mueller

Online classes for science

Hi all,

I hope everyone is safe and well.  

So here's the deal, when you get a chance, go to www.zoom.us and sign up for a free account.  You can use your Google account or Facebook account if you wish.  When you sign up you'll be prompted to download a "Zoom App" for the computer (or the phone for that matter).   Once you have that you will be ready to go.

You will want to do this before class time to make sure you're all set.

About 15 minutes or so before class I'll send a link that will take you directly to the class.

There's no need to have your camera on so please feel free to keep those turned off. 

Looking forward to "seeing" everyone soon!.

Best,

The homework "quiz" for bio

Hi folks,

I'm still getting used to the Canvas quiz thing so this week's "quiz" is quite tricky to do well on.  Even if you get the right answer, if you don't get it EXACTLY right it doesn't give you credit.  I'm going to go in after you guys do the assignment and just mark the grade a full 100%.  Do the best you can, and be sure to study the answers so that you know what's right and wrong for future quizzes but don't worry about spelling errors or other minuscule problems.

Sorry about the frustration on this.  A lot of new stuff to learn in this new world of online grading.

Best,

3/20 Biology update

Hi all,

The assignments have been uploaded to your Canvas site so you should all be able to take a look.  I've also redone one of the charts to put it in a slightly easier to read format for one of your homework assignments.  This chart and the picture on the Canvas site are primarily the same information.

Let me know if you have any questions. 

Best,

Jim Mueller
