While I strongly disagree with the notion that textbooks are driving up the cost of higher education -- we can discuss the real culprit when we talk about bureaucracies during the course -- I am joining the university's initiative to utilize open educational resources. These materials are a lot like public domain software (i.e., they are provided by the author/compiler at no cost to the user). Click any of the links below to access our text:

Sometimes I do not cover certain Key Topics as well as I want during class sessions. Other times, I decide not to cover them at all. That being the case, I occasionally drop Key Topics from consideration for exams. Rather than revise (and then revise back later) the Key Topics web page, I simply post an updated list here.

Self-Assessment Information
 

As soon as you have completed your Self-Analysis Report (do not wait until the deliverable due date), e-mail it to your feedback providers. Ask them to read it and provide feedback on the accuracy of your analysis. You will need to provide them a link to the online form for providing feedback. Click on the following link:

Self-Analysis Report Feedback Form

Take a look at the form to see what information your feedback providers will be giving. Then copy the URL and paste it into your e-mail for them to use.
