Statement of Great Importance
- It is critical that you document all work done associated with this online class and that this material can be presented to the instructor upon request. You will be provided instructor notes for each lecture; these notes will be intentionally incomplete and will require you to complete them. You may choose to print out the notes and complete, annotate them electronically or just rewrite them...I suggest that you do the latter, rewrite the notes in a completed form.
For example: here is an example of partial instructors notes --> 
I suggest that you have a notebook, just like in class, and treat this as an in-class activity. If i were to ask you to email me a photo of lecture notes XYZ, then you can just snap a picture of these notes. If you prefer to do electronic annotation, then a screen-shot will do.
Additionally, i will provide worksheets that can be completed via rewriting (preferred), printed and completed, or electronically annotated. For example, complete this worksheet.
