TEXT
The information regarding the text for the course will be discussed on the first day of class. Fortunately, I structure the course such that you will not require the text for the first week or so. Thus, you will have a time lag to allow you to acquire the text for when you will begin to need it.
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 MW 1:00pm class is section 1101.
The TT 9:00am class is section 1201.
You will receive information to access the electronic version. To do this you will need a code from your instructor, that is, me. The code is: spalding35823. I realize that rather than me, it says spalding for your instructor. (You should be so fortunate.) But 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.
