I normally respond within less than 48 hours, Mondays through Fridays from 9:00 to 5:00 pm. I do not respond to emails after hours, on weekends, or holidays.

Make sure to include a screen shot 🤳🏽, a video, a file or at least detailed information of your question. I can't see you screen, so you need to help me help you.

Canvas Mail

Inbox tray picture If I need to get a hold of you this semester, I'll contact you through Canvas mail. You can access this feature by clicking "Inbox" in the left-hand global navigation bar. You can contact me in through there as well.

Zoom

I know the material in this class can be challenging. If at any point you need further clarification or just want to go over the exercises, then I encourage you to schedule a Zoom meeting with me.

It is simple and we can actually share our desktops and control over each others systems. This is a great tool that can help you visualize better my explanations.

If you need to meet with me, and you can't come and meet me during office hours, then let's set up a date and time for a Zoom web-meeting. Please download the Zoom app here before the actual meeting, to save yourself sometime.

These are the instructions on how to join me.

Connect Technical Support:

The Publisher and Canvas requests that all students use Google Chrome as their Browser regardless if it is PC or MAC. You can download Google Chrome here.

If a student experiences technical difficulties and requests support, the first question that will be asked is "What Browser is the student using?"

While Chrome is the preferred browser for most Canvas interactions, Canvas supports the latest versions of every browser release. It's highly recommended that you update to the newest version of whatever browser you are using as well as the most up-to-date Flash plug-in. Check out the Canvas Browser Support page for the most recent information.

Contacting the Canvas Help Desk:

You can search the Canvas Guides or contact the Canvas Support Helpline by clicking the Help icon (circle with a question mark) in the Global Navigation area on the left of your screen or calling (877) 930-1129 for Canvas support.

NOTE: It will be important to have an active Crafton Hills College email account.

You're probably familiar with checking your grades for a current course in Canvas (Links to an external site.), but did you know that you might not be seeing an accurate calculation of your final grade when you check your grades at the end of the semester?

In order to get an accurate view of your final grade towards the end of the semester, make sure to uncheck the Calculate based only on graded assignments checkbox:

In the following picture, the grade on the right would be your correct grade. It starts at a zero and It will increase as you complete more and more assignments. Keep in mind that your final exam and capstone project are at the end of the class and have the heaviest weight. Therefore, when you finish all your work and before completing those two, the maximum points you can earn are 65 out of 100. So please do not panic if you don't see your grade increasing substantially through out the course.

We use weighted average in this class!
