Schedule

Below are links to information you will need for each day. To view the links (which are stored on Google Drive) and to submit the homework you will need to be logged in to your Boise State account. You should also buy The ABCs of How We Learn (no need to use that retailer – you can likely find it cheaper elsewhere; if you’d rather not buy a book, you can borrow my copy to photocopy the relevant chapter).

You can also access the homework files here. In-class work can be put in this folder.
