Other readings may be assigned in this course.

You may buy your textbook online at the MTC Bookstore. http://www.midlandstech.com/bookstore.htm 

New editions of this text come with a CD-ROM that may or may not be useful to you as you study. Follow directions on the CD label to play the CD. One useful feature is the CD contains a number of multiple choice questions by chapter. Some of these will be used in closed book course exams, but such questions are no more than 5% of your grade--therefore do not spend too much time with the textbook CD.

Your journal terms and terms on all exams are all located in this text. Most are noted by sub-headings or marginal notes. Read it first, come to class prepared, then go to the web pages for this course.
