… So! I discover that Math 098 has yet another option for delivery: hybrid, using Mathzone. I asked for access — wish I could have “student access,” but I got the teacher kind, so I don’t know what’s actually expected of students. Basically, I’ve got… the book and the lecture notes, and some nice powerpoints […]

HEre’s a ditty on flashcards I dug up… Dear Student Having a Debate on The Use Of Flashcards as a Study Tool: […]

So! I keep forgetting how dysfuncktional the file management is with Camtasia. I made the project and “produced” it… but OOPS!!!! I forgot to … well, I can’t quite remember what it was I was supposed to do to keep it from being saved…. where? NO, we’re sorry, you can’t find it — there’s no […]
