Homework

For this course, we will be using the following text:

Select homework sets are provided below for either option you choose. The homework prompts listed are a starting point to practice the material we learned in class (or from the videos). Some people may feel they need more practice after working through these prompts, and that is great to have that self-awareness! In this case, try some of the even prompts between the assigned odd ones.

Note Sheets

Below are a number of Guided Note Sheets. These are blank and constitute what will be covered during lecture.

Portfolio

By the end of the term, you will complete this portfolio. Each prompt will be collected at some point during the term and returned with feedback provided. By the end of the term, you will turn in the entire portfolio for a grade.

Reviews

Below are some reviews for both the midterm exam and the final exam. Use these reviews to study for the exam. These will not be collected or covered in class.
