Many of the instructions, references, and aids listed on this site have been gleaned from other teachers' work, web sites, books, etc. In every case where I know the author, I have left the text's URL on the bottom of the page, or have directed the link straight to the original web site. In some cases, the materials contained here were passed on to me from my own professors, and many times I do not know their original origin. I believe teaching to be a creative act, and I am always on the lookout for new and interesting ways of helping my students learn. If there are any cases where you have questions, concerns, or comments about the authorship of the instructional materials, or, if you just want to talk pedagogy, please e-mail me at sumnerwinter@gmail.com.
