WTCC eLTC staff
WTCC eLTC is supporting so many students and faculty in such a critical role. They are carrying us through this pandemic by allowing some normalcy in test-taking. I had one student mention that he worked harder just knowing that he takes his tests on paper and not virtually. The eLTC is awesome!

Kenneth Jewell
I was taking D.E.-Fall semester. Before his class, I was beginning to get discouraged that maybe I lost my ability understand new math concepts. That was until I took K.Jewell's class, he taught high level math in a way that gave me confidence in my skills in math that I haven't had in a long time!
