CANVAS: Discussion Boards and NetTutor !

 

I donմ do much with Canvas, but a student discussion board and a NetTutor link are there.

Printing Suggestions for Typed Files

I recommend two-page-to-a-side and/or double-sided printing to save paper. Color printing is nice, but B&W printing is cheaper.

These are pdf files. You can get the free Adobe Reader at http://www.adobe.com . Get a version that is compatible with your system!

Class Notes

Many students benefit from printing the notes for a lecture beforehand, reviewing them, and commenting on them in class.

You may want to take personalized sketch notes in class.
