We have started working on homework, with sections JIT 9 and 12 completed today. Let me reiterate that you can always find board images on Canvas/Files in files named after the sections they cover.
The first batch of homeworks on MyLab (Orientation, JIT 9, 12, 13, 18) is due on Wednesday. Three people from the class do not yet appear on the roster on MyLab: please use this weekend to get connected with MyLab and start working on the homework (see info on this in the previous post, below).
On Monday, we continue discussing homework from sections JIT 13 and 18, followed by section 1.1.
Free tutoring at the Ross Center starts on Monday, and starts on Sep 8th at the Lowry Center. Check the "free tutoring" link for more information.

Welcome to the course! Look around to familiarize yourself with the layout of these webpages. To get to other pages, click on the links in the menu (or drop-down, if viewing on a smartphone). The most often used pages are in the first line of the menu (or the first several choices of the drop-down). "Scores and docs," for example, has all the documents for the course.
Your first exercise is to find the syllabus on these pages and read it. The most important items there are in larger font.
These pages will get more content as information becomes available. Check back often: useful information is provided in the "home" section (which you are reading), typically updated weekly. For now, here is some information on the textbook, online homework and Canvas.
Textbook and online homework: In this course, you have signed up for "Inclusive Access," which automatically bills you for access to the online homework system and includes the e-book. You can access these materials by clicking on Canvas/Course Materials. If you do not already have a Pearson account, you will need to create it and then link it to your Canvas account.
Canvas: Canvas will only be the repository of class notes and your grades. Information about the course and weekly messages will be posted to this website (also accessible from Canvas). (Why bother with the website outside of Canvas? Two reasons: it's easier to make updates to it, and it stays public. I value this, and you may grow to as well, as a service to future students of this course.)
Lecture notes: I will distribute the printed notes in class. Have these with you so that you can follow the lectures in class without having to copy a lot. The filled-in notes written in class are posted on Canvas.
