Jing searched the University's website and found his instructor's office was located on the second floor in the Human Sciences building. He went to this location during the time it said in Blackboard that his instructor was having office hours and he knocked on the door but no one answered.

Office hours are held virtually (not in person) within Blackboard Collaborate Ultra. Jing could find a link to this location within his Blackboard course.

Gilbert just received his exam grade, but he doesn't have access to the individual questions from the exam. He contacts the instructor to ask if he can see his exam. According to the syllabus, how would you expect the instructor to respond?

Upon request, Gilbert can schedule an appointment with the instructor to receive a learning goal summary based on his exam performance to help Gilbert better understand his learning achievement strengths and weaknesses.
