Introduction to the American Criminal Justice System
No full textThere is a dearth of OER textbooks in Criminology and Criminal Justice/ which made creating this textbook all the more exciting. At times we faced challenges about what or how much to cover/ but our primary goal was to make sure this book was as in-depth as the two textbooks we were currently using for our CCJ 230 introduction course. The only way we were willing to undertake this project as if it was as good/ or better than the current books students read. We have had very positive feedback about the required textbooks in the course but consistently heard how expensive the books were to buy. We also needed to ensure we met the learning outcomes outlined by SOU for a general education course/ as well as the state of Oregon/ to make sure this textbook helps students meet those outcomes.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1596/thumbnail.jp

An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers
No full textThis book/ which presupposes familiarity only with the most elementary concepts of arithmetic (divisibility properties/ greatest common divisor/ etc.)/ is an expanded version of a series of lectures for graduate students on elementary number theory. Topics include: Compositions and Partitions; Arithmetic Functions; Distribution of Primes; Irrational Numbers; Congruences; Diophantine Equations; Combinatorial Number Theory; and Geometry of Numbers. Three sections of problems (which include exercises as well as unsolved problems) complete the text.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1646/thumbnail.jp
Microwave and RF Design: Networks
No full textMicrowave and RF Design: Networks presents the tools and techniques required to analyze and design microwave and RF circuits. Because of the finite speed of light/ microwave circuits must be considered to be spatially distributed and so there is not a single ground. As such metrics that can be used to describe power flow are of most use. The topics covered include scattering parameters/ signal flow graphs/ and Smith charts. Acquiring expertise in these is the biggest barriers to a successful career in microwave and RF engineering. This book is suitable as both an undergraduate and graduate textbook/ as well as a career-long reference book.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1650/thumbnail.jp
Sharing Our Knowledge: Best Practices for Supporting English Language Learners in Schools
No full textTo complete the course ECUR 415.3: Current Issues in EAL/ students are required to submit a final paper that reflects their growing knowledge about English as an Additional Language (EAL). EAL is the term used in Saskatchewan to describe students who speak languages other than English and require adequate levels of English to be successful with the school curriculum. Most students enrolled in the online course ECUR 415 are practicing teachers who are working toward a Post-Degree Certificate in EAL Education (PDCEAL)/ while continuing to live and work in various locations both within and outside of the province. The certificate program/ offered through the College of Education/ University of Saskatchewan/ is recognized by provincial education authorities as being equivalent to one full year of post-degree study. As such/ the certificate equips teachers with the knowledge and expertise to be considered teacher-specialists of EAL Education. The course ECUR 415 also attracts some pre-service teachers who are pursuing a Bachelor of Education degree and have an interest in EAL Education.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1676/thumbnail.jp
