COURSE SYLLABUS - Rodin

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Announcements

Note: The last assignment is due on Monday of the last week of school. All extra credit problems are due on the last day of classes.

Geometer's Sketchpad is available at the bookstore or can be purchased online: The web address is http://www.keycollege.com/Pages/ProdGSP.html. You should get the student edition which sells for $39.95.

The Co-op is selling the program alone for $19.95 (which is a great price). You can get the program bundled with the optional textbook for $59.95. The textbook alone is selling for $42.95. As I said in class, the optional textbook is for your own reference and will not be needed for this class.

(Friday, Jan. 21) The Co-op is currently out of Sketchpad, but there will be more arriving on Tuesday of next week. Be careful - the text alone does have a disk, but it is a demo version, not the full version of Sketchpad. As of now, the bundled text and program have not arrived. If you bought the text thinking that it was the bundle, I recommend returning it. There is no reason to buy the text and program separately.
