As you can see from
the Lesson Schedule, this course is divided into six general
topics. We will spend anywhere from one to four
weeks on each topic. Each topic is in turn divided into one or
more modules. The website has a page corresponding to
each module. On the page for each module you will find the following
information:
- A list of learning objectives for the
module to help guide your studies.
- Assigned reading corresponding to the
module.
- Lecture notes for the module in the form
of both Powerpoint
and PDF files.
- Audio files to accompany the Powerpoint
files.
- Quizzes relevant to the module.
- Threaded discussion relevant to the
module.
- Problem sets relevant to the module.
LECTURES: You may access all the lecture
material via the web page for each module of each lesson.
You may use the Powerpoint version or the PDF version of
the slides, coupled with the Real Player audio file. You
must open these files separately. Also, when using the
Powerpoint version of the slides, it is highly recommended
that you use Internet Explorer as your browser.
Important symbols may not come out correctly in other
browsers. I know for sure there are problems viewing the
symbols using Netscape. I have not tested FireFox.
QUIZZES: For several modules of each
lesson, there are self-test quizzes available on web CT
that should help you assess how well you are mastering
fundamental concepts, definitions, etc. These quizzes will
not form part of your grade. You may take the quizzes as
many times as you like. It is recommended that you take
the quizzes until you can obtain a perfect score.
HOMEWORK: There will be one
homework assignment due for most of the modules. You will download your
homework assignment from the web. The due dates will be posted on the
schedule page of the website. The solutions to the
problem set will be posted on the web immediately after class
on the due date. Therefore, NO LATE HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS CAN
BE ACCEPTED FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER. Instructions for
submitting homework are given on the Help page of this
website, and on the page for each Homework Assignment. ALL
HOMEWORK MUST BE RECEIVED BY 4:00 PM PACIFIC TIME ON THE
DATE IT IS DUE!!
