Resource Details
- Textbook CD (comes with new text).
We have some the students can check out if they don’t have
one. For each textbook section, the CD has
- practice exercises (about
20), which the user can have explained step-by-step to
check their solution. The user can also ask to see
example problems worked before trying the practice
exercise.
- Quizzes?
- There is also an extensive selection of prerequisite
topics, mostly from algebra, with the same types of
practice problems (19 per topic) for each of the
prerequisite topics. This would be a very good
resource for anyone needing an algebra review.
- Calculator instructions for TI 83/84. Not live, just PDF pages.
We have better resources for this.
XL startup instructions.
- practice exercises (about
20), which the user can have explained step-by-step to
check their solution. The user can also ask to see
example problems worked before trying the practice
exercise.
- Instructional DVD’s. Good live instructional lectures on the DVD’s. We have two sets of 8 or 9 DVD lesson disks. Students need to check these out from the front desk. They just need to tell the front desk staff what sections in the text should be on the DVD. These don’t replace going to class, but they have been pretty popular with Math 111,112 students over the last year.
- Graphing Calculator Video Tapes. About
an hour-long video on using the TI 83 graphing calculator.
(We also have one for the TI 89). We also have a
written instructional manual, and many copies of the manuals
that come with the TI 83 (which the students can have for
free).
