Textbook WebAssign
For those of you using the textbook, you can log into the optional online WebAssign section for this class. I don't use this myself, but I know some students in the past have found the resources (eg video lectures) useful. To log in, you'll need the class key as well as your own key from your textbook.
Class key: uregina.ca 5575 1817
Khan Academy Video Lecture
If you like additional explanations in the video format, past students have found Khan's Academy useful. These are free youtube videos on a variety of subjects, including ours. (I would warn against spending too much time on these sites. You can waste a lot of time watching videos rather than doing exercises yourself... only use these to get specific help on specific topics). You can see the available playlists at

Lamar Course Notes

Note the the section on "recommendations" does not apply to you. We will be using the results of this test to fine tune that section. However, if you did have severe difficulties with this test, you likely need to consider altneratives to making sure your PreCalculus background is sufficient.

On top of those, you should of course use your course notes, online questions,
your own quizzes and midterms, and the text and lab manual for study. As you can see,
there's a lot of material here - your best use of it is to start early and spread it out,
try to avoid the temptation of a last minute "cram" for this exam.
