All about the course site:

Where is the textbook for PRT 238?

You are reading it!  This site works as an alternative to a typical textbook.  Made up of free, open resources, this book has more than just chapters!

How do I read this “textbook”?

Each section of the “textbook” corresponds not to a chapter in a book, but the unit that you are learning about in class.

How will we learn if we don’t have a paper book?

While there are still PDFs of book chapters included, you will also find journal articles, newspaper articles, videos, and a few simulations!

Why isn’t this in paper form?

This “alternate textbook” is great because it is FREE!  Buying regular textbooks can be expensive, so we compiled these quality resources to give you awesome information at no cost.
