I did well in both Econometrics courses (399,497), and would say definitely check this text book out. You should be able to find a PDF somewhere. In my section with Fossati there was some really basic coding (Shazam), and the stats/maths were very introductory. Understanding basic calculus (multivariate inc.) as well as introductory stats (distributions, expected values, hypothesis testing) is most the course imo.

They're also both a lot of fun. :) If you're looking for interesting Econ courses, those specific 400 level ones are pretty interesting, since you typically get directed to read papers with substantial findings and get a good taste of that particular field. Labor Economics and Urban Economics are both great.

One thing you can try is googling "intro modern hebrew syllabus" and see what texts those introductory courses are using (I know the UofA only has courses on biblical hebrew, but many other institutions teach modern hebrew). Here's a few books on Amazon that I found off of those syllabi .

Text 1 and Text 2

The UofA libraries also gives you free access to some ebooks like this one if you want to save costs.

If you look around I'm sure you can find a text that suits you.

Almost all our textbooks this year are required new editions. We can’t buy used ones - this is because the medicine behind Nursing practise is constantly changing.

What you're asking for is close to stealing. The reason that this book is available from the Ualberta library is because the U of A has paid for this privilege. If someone did what you're asking, you're not giving the author any sort of compensation for their work.

Here is a link to purchase this book. If your school's library does not have access to it, I believe this is because they have not purchased the rights to it. This book was published by the University of Kentucky, so there's no specific connection to the U of A that I can tell.

I'm not a library expert or anything, so I apologize if anything I've said is not true, but I'm confident that downloading this book and emailing it to you is not appropriate.

I just looked at his textbook (credit where credit is due: he has posted a free downloadable PDF) and it's self-published and about as well-proofread as his websites:

  • http://consol.ca/,

  • http://prairieu.ca/, and

  • http://roguepublishing.ca/

    If, by some freak accident, I found myself in a class that used Jensen's textbook, I'd demand that DeVry refund my tuition.

    For comparison, this chemistry textbook's first author is also a non-tenured lecturer. Notice that it has several authors, is published by a reputable textbook publisher, is on its 7th edition, and does not fill pages with silly cartoons about high-velocity lead poisoning. (Also it's expensive.)
