Logging in to SJCC and Canvas

Dear Students,

As many of you know, the college will change its login/authentication process for all system over Spring break. “All systems”, includes Canvas.

Due to this…

Be sure to try to attempt to login during spring break.

Make sure you set up a secondary backup for authentication, like your phone number, in addition to using the Microsoft authenticator app to login.

If you have any trouble logging in, do not contact me. Contact the SJCC IT department. I can’t do anything to help you, but they can help you.

Good luck! And, I hope this extra info helps!

Graduating soon? Finishing a certificate?

Dear Students,

If you’re graduating this Spring or Summer, or finishing a certificate, students have to petition to graduate. And it is a process! And you need an appointment to do this!

Deadlines are coming soon. Contact your counselor today to learn what you need to do.

The counselors asked me to let students know... So, contact your counselor directly for more info.

Good luck! And congrats on finishing!

Online tutoring & In-Person tutoring

Dear Students,

I turned on "Net-tutoring/Pisces" as an option now in the Canvas menu. Look for it in Canvas in the main menu option list.

I honestly did not realize it worked... but Andrea (student) let me know it does! So, now you have it! Thanks Andrea!

It appears SJCC students have TWO options for tutoring.

Online via Net-tutoring/Pisces Canvas menu.

SJCC tutoring -- which are SJCC students, many of which are my ex-students who received A's in my courses.

Two options is better than one! I hope this helps!

Have a great semester! :)

Professor job performance review

Dear Students,

Just a heads up

My supervising Dean, Dean Stevenson, will be sending a survey to you for my job performance review.

Please keep an eye out for the survey, as it will be sent to your email (and come from a student worker named Alex Cheng) . It would be great and very helpful if you can send feedback.

For CIS-084 java programming class, the survey will be done in person during our lab on Tuesday night.

Have a great day, and good luck with the rest of the course too! :)

Office Hours & Such

Dear Students,

There was an erroneous communication that went out about office hours (last week) that confused a few students. I do apologize about this error on my part.

My Office Hours (in general) are on Mondays 10am-11am via Zoom. Please read the Home Page in Canvas (near the bottom) as it has detailed dates/times each week throughout the whole semester, and also the zoom link.

If you are having any troubles this week, please message me and let me know. I've been in touch w/ several of you. Also, please DO collaborate with classmates. Working together is good!

Also, get tutoring EARLY, not later when you are "in trouble". If you think you may need additional support/help, get it now. This always works best in my class. Some students do tutoring for 4-5 weeks at the beginning, then they are done and set. But, getting it Week 10 when it's TOO LATE, is a bad idea.

I definitely do my best try to design my courses to go as SMOOOOOOOOOTH :) as possible for all students. No midterm. No final. "easy"/ short modules, et cetera.

But, each student learns differently... So, if you need help/tutoring or feel shaky, please do get the support you need EARLY/NOW. Having support is a good thing!

Thank you! Wishing all of you a wonderful, smooth, fun, and educational semester!
