These will be our permanent links that we can use any time we're "meeting" online for class. You can try out these links any time, 24/7, to test your webcam and learn how to use the online meeting systems. Think of the addresses as our empty classroom. Feel free to visit any time, but it will be empty most of the time, except during class and Math Lab hours.

This is a short novella first published in 1884. Any edition is okay to use and the book is also available for free online.

Do I need to buy the textbooks? Maybe. Yes, you need to have them. But electronic versions of both are available for free online. However, if you prefer to have a printed version, you can only buy the "Course Pack" textbook at the Biola Bookstore. You can buy the "Flatland" novel anywhere.

Also: the course pack is the same as previous semesters, so if you know someone with a used copy, that will be okay to use.
