I teach math and computer literacy at Blue Mountain Community College. I have been here for 23 years. I teach in Pendleton, online, and in Hermiston. I received an A.S. in Business Administration from the Community College of Rhode Island, a B.S. in Math and Secondary Education from Rhode Island College, and a M.S in Math from Western Washington University. I love doing and teaching math, from arithmetic to calculus, statistics and beyond, in addition to programming and web development. I also like to mountain bike, road bike, do yoga, dance with my wife, and play soccer with my daughters.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

This course allows the use of LatePasses. You are given 20 LatePasses in this course so plan ahead and use them wisely. Late Passes must be applied before the due date expires. This is all you get for excused or unexcused situations of any kind. If you have a LatePass and the assignment allows using LatePasses, you can click on Use LatePass next to the assignment link. This will extend the due date by 48 hours (2 days). Using a LatePass will not result in a score reduction. You may use multiple late passes on a single assignment to get a cumulative extension (2 days for each pass).
If you use a late pass and still turn the assignment in on time, message me and I will reimburse you for it. If you miss the deadline then message me and I will extend the deadline in exchange for late passes (I will take 2 pass for every 2 days for every assignment). Late passes can also be used for REDOs following the same exchange rate. Late passes cannot be used for forum assignments (Critical Thinking assignments included) so you will need to submit these via email or message and then Latepasses will be deducted when I grade.
Late passes cannot be used on an exam or to extend the deadline of any assignment past the final day of week 10, 2019-06-08.
You can access your grades for this course by clicking the Gradebook link at the top or bottom of the course page. The Gradebook shows your score on each assignment for the class, as well as category totals. You can review completed assignments, if you wish, by clicking on the score in the Gradebook. You will be able to look again at the questions, the answers you submitted, my feedback, and the correct answers (after the due date).
There is also your overall (total) score for the class.
Keep in mind that written assignments are not automatically graded, so will show a score of 0 (or a low number when only parts are written) until I read and record a score for your assignment.
Grading is completed the Monday after the deadline. If you submit late work it will likely be graded the following Monday.
Solutions to most technical issues can be found here. If you still can't resolve the issue, email me as soon as possible at [email protected].
