We are using a new course management system that is under evaluation for use at Ga Tech. It is produced by the Sakai Foundation which is a consortium of major universities that have groupedd efforts in a vert large open source project to develop the most sophisticated course management system in the world. Access Sakai here: Sakai

Texts: The course textbook is here!

The class participation grade (5%) will be based on two things (I have not decided on the exact split between the two):
- PRS in class
- comments on the textbook

For the latter, use the class swiki to post your comments. REMEMBER: TO GET CLASS PARTICIPATION CREDIT, MAKE SURE YOU PUT YOUR NAME AND GT E-MAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH THE COMMENT.
It will be most useful if your comments are broken down into the following categories:
(a) writing style
(b) clarity of presentation of concepts
(c) what additional material would have made the concepts in the chapter more understandable
(d) anything you particularly liked about the chapter
(e) anything you particularly disliked about the chapter


You may wish to refer to the following as supplemental reading.
