- Listen to the CD audio over the 'net
- read the textbook (depending on which "type" of access code you have)
- take some quizzes etc just to test yourself.
The advantage of listening to the music through the website is that the listening guides are dynamic - you don't have to guess if you are looking at the right line, because the text is animated to show you exactly where you are in the piece.
It's fairly handy.
SO WHERE IS THIS THING?
Here's the URL for the Fall 2011 class:
IF YOU HAVE YOUR CODE ALREADY:
Setup an account with your access code - click the "register now" button.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE:
You can purchase it online, or get one from the bookstore. I do not know which is cheaper. BEWARE, though - there are two types of codes - one gives you access to the textbook, the other does NOT.
You can decide if online textbook access is important to you - I just wanted you to know before plunking down the cash.
IS THIS MANDATORY FOR THIS CLASS?
No, but it'd be very handy! The animated listening guides alone are worth the price of admission if you are serious about getting an A and developing your listening skills.
