1) When you send an email, please let me know if you are a local student or a distance learning student.

Message to the distance learning students:
1) Technical questions on how to watch the lectures or if there are any problems should be adressed directly to distance learning. I will not have the answers.
2) The distance learning students will NOT need a proctor. The exams will be take home.
3) Once the distance learning homeowrks and exams are graded, they will be returned to distance learning and they have a way to get them to the students.
