A detailed course syllabus provides information on the text
book, course requirements, study tips, and an outline of course materials.
The textbook provides a very
useful website. You require a code which is included in the
text book to obtain access to most of the information on this website.
Office hours:
I endeavour to be in my office and available to
students during these hours: Monday,1:15 to 2:15; Tuesday, 1:30 to 4:00;
Wednesday, 11:00 to 12:00; Friday, 11:00 to 12:00 and 1:30 to 3:30. Occasionally meetings or other appointments
may prevent me from keeping these hours. However, whenever my door is ajar, I
am willing to see students, even outside the posted hours.
Printing power point presentations:
Right
click the link and open the file in a new window. Type control P to open the
print window. Find the ‘Print What’ option. Click ‘handouts’. You then may
select the number of slides that you wish to print per page.
Excel exercise and test files
Please read all instruction before emailing me with questions. I will be pleased to help you if you are
still having problems after consulting all instructions.
NOTE: If you
are using Microsoft explorer, save the exercise file to your hard
drive before opening it. I believe that
the exercise file may be safely opened by other search engines.
You may need to lower the
level of security on your computer while using these files; the excel files use
macros, and many computers to not permit the opening of files with macros. See
the general instructions for more information.
