Math 104 Online

This is the main page for MAT 104 online at BMCC/CUNY, taught by Prof. Wladis. This class is taught entirely online - all your assignments must be submitted electronically. There are 1-2 deadlines every week for your work. You should expect this course to take about 12 hours of work each week; this work includes reading lectures online, completing problems online, discussing mathematics with other students online, and doing homework for practice. To begin the course, you must login to Brightspace and complete assignments by the end of the first week of classes.

BE SURE TO CLICK ON THE LINK AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE TO COMPLETE THE STEPS NEEDED TO BEGIN THE COURSE!

Useful course links (you may want to print these out and keep them with you throughout the semester):

  • Brightspace: The course itself is hosted in Brightspace, which can always be accessed through the CUNY portal at www.cuny.edu.

    For instructions on how to logon to Brightspace for the first time, click here for instructions on how to logon.
    If you have never used Brightspace before, I recommend that you click here for information about how to attend an orientation session.

  • Turnitin: You will have writing assignments which you will be required to submit using Turnitin.com instead of Brightspace. You will need the following information in order to register for this course at turnitin.com:
    course ID: 19159743
    password: math104
    If you do not have a turnitin account, please register for one at turnitin.com. Once you are logged in, instructions on how to add a new class to your turnitin account (be sure to have the course ID and password handy above) can be found by clicking HERE. 

  • BMCC email: You are required by BMCC to check your BMCC email regularly. While you may always email me from a non-BMCC email address, and you may sign up for the class mailing list with a non-BMCC email address, you must also check your BMCC email for important notifications. Go to http://www.bmcc.cuny.edu/email.html to set up your BMCC email account.

  • Assignments Page: Assignments will be due every week. The deadlines for each week, and the specific assignments which will be due each week are always listed on the assignments page, which you can get to by going to http://www.cwladis.com/math104/interactivesyllabus.
    This page is also under the "Assignments" button on the menu in Brightspace. There are assignments due by the end of the first week of classes!

  • Course Information: Before you begin the course, you must read the course syllabus at http://www.cwladis.com/math104/syllabus.php and the frequently asked questions page at http://www.cwladis.com/math104/faq.htm.
    Both of these pages are also available in Brightspace under the "Course Information" and "FAQs" buttons. If you have questions about the course later, you should always go to these two pages first.

  • Technical Help: If you encounter any technical problems during the course:

    • For problems with Brightspace, contact E-Support at 212-220-8126 or at esupport@bmcc.cuny.edu.

    • For problems with BMCC email (other than simple password resets), contact the College Computing Center at BMCC at 212-220-8002 or at Student_helpdesk@bmcc.cuny.edu.

    • Please do not ask me to fix technical problems; unfortunately, I don't have the expertise or systems access- contact E-Support or the College Computing Center first, and then if the problem is not easily fixed, email me to let me know what problem you are having and what you have done with IT or the Helpdesk so far to try and fix it. Continue to call E-Support or the College Computing Center until the problem is resolved, and keep updating me about your progress until the problem is fixed.
