Do not wait until the last minute to ask for help!
We have a standing rule that we will not provide last minute help for homework on the day that it is due. We encourage you to get an early start on assignments and to seek help (if needed) early enough to make good use of whatever help you obtain.How to locate responses to questions you submit to “Ask Your Teacher”
“Ask Your Teacher” is the primary “help” tool available in WebAssign. To find an answer to a question you asked via "Ask Your Teacher", return to the assignment where you asked the question (if it is now past due you'll need to click the link to view your "Past Assignments" and then click on the assignment name). Once you are looking at the assignment look for the little envelope(s) in the blue bar above the question(s) that you asked about. Note: You'll usually get a response within 24 hours.
Additionally, there is a handy feature which allows you to get an email notification when someone responds to your "Ask Your Teacher" request. Simply click the link near the top right of any page that says "Notifications" and follow the directions to set things up. You can also get email notifications which remind you about upcoming homework and lots of other things you might find helpful. Check it out!
The voice behind (most of) the videos
Dr. Lavon Page taught the online version of this course for 20 years and traditional sections of the course for many years before that. He is the creator of the majority of the videos used in this online course.
Dr. Page was one of the first faculty at NCSU to begin delivering classes via the Internet. The MA 114 class was first offered online during the fall semester of 1997 (fun fact: Jenn was a student in that first class!). WebAssign has been used in the course since 1999.
While he is no longer involved in the day-to-day operation of the course, his influence and great knowledge continue to make the online offering one of the most popular and respected distance education courses at NCSU.
