For those who wish (as I say, this is optional), below are the instructions to enroll in the iLrn online system that accompanies the (obligatory) textbook.
I will send out more details later for those who are choosing now to take part in the iLrn exercises.
I should also point out that though iLrn is optional for this class, I can by no means guarantee that it will be optional for SPAN102 (indeed, it probably will not be). As such, you may only be postponing the pain.
And I would also emphasize that the more practice you do outside of class the better. iLrn is at least conveniently organized in sync with the textbook.
Your instructor, Jon Beasley-Murray, invites you to enroll in the following course.
Course:SPAN101-921
Code:GMXA638
Book:¿Cómo se dice…? 10th Edition eStudent Activities Manual (eSAM)
