WELCOME!
This is where you will find information pertaining directly to your class! I am so excited to have such a wonderful group of excited students! It will be a challenging year for you, but we will have a blast!
Textbook: Most of you will use an online text instead of a paper one. If you do have a paper text, keep it at home. Use it for homework, as a reference, etc. There are many interactive tools on the textbook website. Familiarize yourself with them and USE them. Some of the tools will be assigned for credit; take advantage of the others on your own!
Prior to a topic lecture you will be assigned a section of the text to take outline notes on. I will model this note-taking style for you during the first week of class.
Remember: I recommend 45minutes of study PER NIGHT. And...READ the TEXT!!! It really does make a difference! It will pay off! (Reduced stress, for one thing!)
WELCOME!!!!!
This week:
