Hints, Notes, and Warnings

Throughout this book, sections like this one appear containing either “Notes”, or some kind of “Hint”.
Generally if the heading is a Note - its like a footnote, other labels should be context evident. The Course Website link should appear at the top of chapter pages so it is easy to navigate back to the class server. This book is hosted on AWS so is accessible when the TTU servers fail (pretty rare - but it does happen)

Warning

Here is a warning block. Warnings are probably not relevant in this book, but are useful for a operations manual.

The usual layout is:

  • Readings

  • Videos

  • Lesson Outline

Then the contents following the outline structure are presented

Syllabus Overview

The working syllabus is located at http://54.243.252.9/ce-3305-webroot/0-Syllabus/ce-3305-2024-1-syllabus.html. The overview summarizes the contents of the syllabus, and how to access through blackboard, and how to upload homeworks (demo in face-to-face class; on-line will have to suffice with the video). The first quiz will ask for the URL to the instructor notes entry page.
