Overview

The schedule of classes below will be updated throughout the semester so that you know which learning module will be discussed in which classes.

Before any class you are scheduled to attend, you must watch the prerecorded video lectures and complete the pre-HW corresponding to that module. Prerecorded video lectures can be found on our Blackboard course site by clicking on Learning Modules in the left sidebar, and then clicking on the folder corresponding to that module. Pre-HW can be found on our Pearson MyLab Math course site.

All classes will be recorded and links to both recordings and lecture notes will be posted here.

After attending class, you must then complete the post-HW on our Pearson MyLab Math course site.

Written homework will be assigned periodically. It will be emailed to the class and posted here, and will contain instruction for how to submit.
