Fall
2008 Textbook Information
M 7 is being taught in
two different formats during this semester: traditional or over World Wide
Web.
World
Wide Web Classes will be using the ALEKS web based learning system, that
requires purchase of ALEKS users license. There are two ways to purchase the
license:
1.You may purchase an ALEKS manual (workbook) from the
bookstore. This manual contains a
supplemental workbook along with your user license which is what you will
need to enroll in the class.
2.The second way is to purchase your
user license online with a credit card. This method is significantly less
expensive than the first, and generally meets the student’s need since the
workbook is not used for the class. Your instructor will help you with the
enrollment process on the first day of class.
| Traditional M
7 classes are using textbook Beginning and Intermediate Algebra
by Lial, Hornsby, and McGinnis, Fourth Edition.
Tightly integrated
with Lial/Hornsby/McGinnis textbook is MyMathLab, a web based learning tool designed
to help you with your homework. MyMathLab contains:
1.Immediate feedback as to whether your answer is right or wrong
2.Step-by-step
instruction for the problems you do not understand.
3.Video or animated tutorials
for many of the problems.
You can obtain MyMathLab conveniently in one of two
ways.
1.Purchase a new book in IU Northwest
bookstore. MyMathLab license is included at no additional cost.
2.Purchase MyMathLab over the web using a credit card (cost $52.50).
The department of Mathematics recommends
use of MyMathLab as an excellent learning tool to all students. Some
instructors use MyMathLab as integral part of the course. If you
make an individual decision to use MyMathLab as an at-home practice
tool, see your instructor for MyMathLab Course ID.
