Note: I am no longer keeping this page up-to-date. Students are best served accessing materials via Google Classroom. Contained here is almost certainly older, less-polished versions of lectures and assignments. I sometimes receive emails from teachers asking for help designing their courses, their assessments, and requesting access to my course materials. I am happy to help! Feel free to reach out at ASterchi@psd202.org
