I’ve just learned from the WeBWorK administrator that the issues that the site is having this weekend probably won’t be resolved for a few more days.

Don’t worry!

As soon as I can get into WeBWorK, I’ll extend the deadlines for the sets that were due tonight. I’ll post here again once that happens.

Edit 9/7: The WeBWorK administrator has to visit campus to reset the WeBWorK server. This should happen sometime tomorrow (Tuesday). WeBWorK sets that were due yesterday will now be due (along with new WeBWorK sets) next Sunday.

Edit 9/8: The WeBWorK administrator is meeting with CIS tomorrow (Wednesday), so hopefully WeBWorK will be back up sometime tomorrow. In the meantime, please see the textbook homework exercises listed on the schedule page here. These are good practice and will get you ready to complete the WeBWorK problems once the site is back up again.

Hello, Good afternoon Professor. 

I’m having trouble going to webwork. It doesn’t even load when I click on the link even tho my connection is fine and the internet is pretty fast. I tried from every single device I have but it’s saying “safari couldn’t open the page because the server stopped responding”. I don’t know if I’m the only one having this problem but will you please look into that. Thank you!

We’ve received guidance from CUNY about recordings of our lectures. I’ve added the official CUNY language to our syllabus page:

This doesn’t change anything for us, but let’s make sure everyone understands:

• You never have to turn your camera on if you don’t want to.
• As announced, I will continue to record the class sessions and make the recordings available (but protected by a password available only to students). If you want to participate in the session but don’t want your contribution to be recorded, you can ask me in the Zoom chat to pause the recording.
• A few times throughout the semester, we’ll hold one-one-one interviews over Zoom where you’ll describe some of your work to me. My preference is for you to have your camera on during these interviews so I can see your work, but if you don’t have a camera or don’t want to turn yours on, we’ll figure something else out.
