VIDEO LESSONS
This section is accurate, but is under construction as I plan to re-arrange some of the links. More to come.

In the drop-down menus above, I have gathered the videos I made for when I taught the course during the pandemic. You should feel free to use these or not, as you desire.
If you miss a day of class, you may find the topic and watch the video for it. Hopefully that will help you get up to speed.
I should say that these are such as they are – the production values are VERY low. But they were sufficient for the cause, and if you wish, you are free to avail yourself of them.
You will notice that in the links there are homework assignments. YOU OUGHT TO IGNORE THESE as they are from a different edition of the text than we are using and will not necessarily align with the assignments we will have in our course this semester.
Finally, I am working on putting together Youtube playlists which will make it easier to watch the videos in sequence. This, however, will likely happen gradually over the course of the semester.

TEXT
My understanding is that at the campus bookstore, the actual physical version of the text is not available. If you go to the campus bookstore:
You will need your section number. The section number for the class is 1101.
You will receive (that is, you will purchase) information to access the electronic version. To do this you will need a code from your instructor, that is, me. The code is: spalding25659. I realize that rather than me, it says spalding for your instructor. You should be so fortunate. Nevertheless, use the code as given, all lower case, no spaces.

YOU WILL NOT NEED TO PURCHASE “MY MATH LAB” OR ANY OTHER SORT OF ELECTRONIC HOMEWORK SYSTEM.

If you desire the physical text, you will need to obtain it on-line via some other means.

In any event, all homework assignments will come from the text. Whether you opt for e-book or physical copy, you will need access to it.
