POWERPOINT SLIDES:You will have access to PowerPoint slides for each chapter through the SU computer network (k-drive) or the Internet. The slides shown in class will not always be identical to those available on the network for several reasons: 1) There are slides on the network that we do not have time to discuss in class. (These generally summarize textbook material.) 2) Due to possible recent changes, the two sets may not be at exactly the same stage of updating. 3) Some combining and elimination of cartoons and titles, etc. have been done to reduce the number of pages you have to print out. 4) As a reward for coming to class, you get to see exciting "bonus" slides. If you print the slides, please helpsave trees. Do not click on the printer icon, but rather the word "file" and then the word "print." Select the "print what?" option of "handouts" instead of "slides" to get 6 slides per page (or 3 per page, which leaves space for notes.) When you select the number of slides per page, it is also helpful to select "pure black and white" to reduce printing time and ink usage.PowerPoint Slides (You may have difficulty accessing the course materials if you are using Windows Vista. If you have such problems, please let me know and I will try to get them fixed.)PARTICIPATION:The instructor's philosophy is that learning is primarily the responsibility of the individual, but it is enhanced by cooperative effort.

These assignments are designed to foster active involvement with the subject matter and the opportunity to learn from other students, as well as to contribute toother students' learning - an
