INSTRUCTOR Matt Peterson, #115C Stevens Hall, 701-774-4280, matthew.s.peterson@willistonstate.edu Office Hours: M-F: 2 - 3 PM The easiest way to get a hold of me is through email. You can either use the above email address or the Course Mail feature through Blackboard. I can be reached by phone at the above number, but email is still best as I check it very often, including off-campus. Students should generally expect a response time of less than 12 hours for emails. I am in my office very often, so feel free to call during office hours or any other time that works for you. Also, feel free set up a meeting time with me if you want to talk at a specific time. TEXTBOOK & MATERIALS All resources for this class are free, open to use, and will be available on Blackboard. Basic technology used to interact with Blackboard is required. A standalone calculator is recommended for easier completion of computational-based problems.
