LCC sent out information on Twitter last night reporting on the status of courses and closures as a result of the cyberthreat. If you haven’t already read it, see the link here: Update on Twitter
Key points from the update:
- If you have any in-person classes, they resume Tuesday March 21.
- Online courses are paused until further notice (since D2L and LCC email are not operational. However, if you wish, you can continue some work in this course during the outage. For what you can do and deadline information, see below:
Reading course material on this website and in the OpenStax website
Everything on this site and the OpenStax text are not affected by the outage, so you can continue study as normal if you wish
Online Homework Assignments
The online homework system is still operable. If you wish, you are free to work on the online homework now. However, the deadlines for the online homework for all assignments in Unit 3 will be extended to well after online classes at LCC resume.
Quizzes
I will continue to post links to the quizzes on this website according to the original schedule. If needed, new due dates for all of them will be posted on the course schedule after online classes resume at LCC. However, if you want to want to work on them during the outage, you are free to do so. If you do, you will just need to hold on to your completed assignments, as you will not be able to submit them to me until LCC email resumes (unless you happen to be on campus, where you could give me a paper copy). You can submit them to me by email once email is restored and classes resume.
Exams
New exam windows will be posted on the Online Course Schedule once classes resume
Grades and Grading
Until D2L access is restored, neither you or I will have access to your grades. Also, I will not be able to grade any ungraded assignments until email is restored. Hopefully, that will be soon!
I have graded your Unit 3 exams. I am not permitted to send grade information to a non-LCC address, but I can tell you your grade by phone or in-person (if you are on campus). Send a text to me at 517-618-1716 if you wish to do that and we can arrange either an in-person meeting or phone call.
Help with course material
If you live in the Lansing area and can come to campus, the Learning Commons will be providing in-person tutoring and I will be available to meet on campus as well (either during office hours MW 12:30 – 1:30 or other times by appointment). I can be reached by call or text at 517-618-1716 (but not by email) until the outage ends. If you have any questions, please contact me at that number as well.
