Emergency Alert
UDC Operating Remotely as of 12:30 p.m. Today, Monday, March 16

The University of the District of Columbia’s academic and administrative offices will move to remote operations as of 12:30 p.m. today, Monday, March 16. All on-campus activities, including athletics, are cancelled.

Staff: Contact your immediate supervisor with questions or for further instruction regarding remote work expectations.

Faculty: Reach out to your immediate supervisor and/or the dean for questions and further instruction regarding the transition to emergency remote instruction (ERI). The Center for the Advancement of Learning (CAL) is available to support faculty with instructional continuity, including support for Blackboard, Zoom, Webex and other teaching and learning technologies.

Students: Due to inclement weather, the university will be closed to in-person operations as of 12:30 p.m. today, Monday, March 16. Instruction will be moved to emergency remote, including synchronous and asynchronous methods. Certain laboratory, clinical and other hands-on classes for which in-person instruction is a requirement may necessitate a make-up lesson, but every effort will be made to pursue virtual learning to the extent possible. Where synchronous virtual instruction is intended, published class meeting times must be observed so that students’ schedules are not disrupted.

The safety and security of our students, faculty, staff and the broader community remain our top priority. We will continue to provide updates regarding the status of the university’s academic and administrative offices as conditions change.

Please continue to check our website and social media channels for the latest information.

If you have any safety concerns, contact OPSEM at 202-274-5050. For all immediate emergencies, call 911.

Thank you for your continued dedication to our students and to UDC’s mission.

MATH 409 – History of Mathematics

Since I joined UDC, one of my main goals has been to integrate a variety of methods into my instruction, with the intention of improving learning experiences for the students. Technology has revolutionized teaching methods, especially in online courses. This provides alternative ways to present information, specifically in science and mathematics. With this in mind, I decided to improve my ability as an educator and complete training through Quality Matters like Applying the Rubric 7th edition to build quality online courses. The QM Course Review process aligned with those goals in providing an approach and structure for how a quality online course should be. My course is now constructed in a student-friendly manner and I’m excited to teach it in the upcoming semester. This experience has greatly improved my course design skills. I look forward to working on more courses for the Math department.
