Power Point Presentations
I will save the PowerPoints as PDF files with six slides to a page so that they are not too large. Even still, the PowerPoint files are large and might fill up the space I have on this server. So I will put them on the Angel website. The Angel website can be accessed from the link below or from the West Valley main page. To log on to Angel use your student ID as your user name. Your default password is your birth date (mmddyy). When you get into your main Angel page you will see all the courses that you are taking listed to the side. Select PSCI 020. Then select the "lessons" tab.
Answers to selected questions.
I will put answers to some of the answers here. If you want me to answer
some specific questions then email me or ask in class. Don't ask me to answer them
all.
