Summary:

This textbook is designed as a free, open-source textbook to be used, shared, and changed as the user sees fit. Many outside OER sources and authors have been cited in this textbook, these resources are also open-source resources. Based on the different sources used, some chapters may be formatted somewhat differently from others. The "voice" of each chapter may be somewhat different also because of different authors being used. Personally, I think this adds to the textbook and provides a more open perspective on the material. To add insight and substance to this text I have included "In a Student's Own Words" which will provide student perspectives to the content. My hope and intent are to add detail and examples to other students, using my students from prior semesters as a resource. No attributions have been given to the students, course or semester to avoid identifying individual students. The two prompts below will let the reader know the content is student created.
