Online Class Readings (OCR)

    Check your class proceedings schedule (available in your syllabus packet) and/or the announcements section on your class home page (preceding page) to determine which readings below you have been assigned.

    REMINDER: material that is written by me must be considered as an extention of class lectures. (Now, you know what that means!)

    By the way, you are more than welcome to read material from this page that is not assigned for your class (smile). Hey, you never know: reading more material than you have been assigned may make you that much more knowledgeable. Miracles do happen!

    A packet always has more than one item in it (duh!). Note that you will not always be assigned to read everything in a packet. Check the Class Proceedings Schedule to see which parts of a packet have been assigned.
