Assigned reading materials must be brought to class. Books may be purchased from the university bookstore or from online retailers. I recommend using Bookfinder.com Links to an external site. to compare used book prices.

Readings posted online must be printed. Laptops may not be used during class discussions. Studies show that reading and taking notes on hard copies encourages comprehension far more than reading digital copies. Moreover, raised laptop screens cut off discussion in class.
