This section will utilize Zoom for all online instruction. Active synchronous visible participation and attendance are required for the entire duration of all lectures and any non-field, online labs. Students are required to have a suitable computer, reliable internet access (a minimum of 5 Mbps UPLOAD speed is required if using the Virtual Lab), a functioning webcam that has both video and audio capabilities, and the ability to print and scan 8-1/2 x 11 inch sheets of paper (at the instructor’s discretion, clear and legible digital photos may be an acceptable alternative to scanning). SRJC does have a first-come-first-served laptop loaner program through SRJC Student Services. Cell phones and the majority of tablets will not suffice. At a minimum, remote computers must be capable of running a web browser, Zoom, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Google Earth. Apple computers, the Apple OS, OS emulators and Boot Partitions are not supported, are the sole responsibility of the student, and will not be considered an excuse for not completing coursework.To enable remote access to the Lindley 196 (L196) computer lab, students will be required to install a VMWare client application. A schedule of L196 open lab hours (in-person or remote), along with further details will be provided in the course syllabus when available and during the first class meeting.
