Summary

Required Readings Assigned readings from the following required texts are listed on pages 4-5 below. Information from these readings will enhance the student’s comprehension of the lecture and research topics, so it is expected they will be read systematically during the process of the semester. A report on their completion will be submitted as part of the final examination. LaSor, W. S., David Allan Hubbard, and Frederic Wm. Bush.

In general, ATS expects students “to invest two and one-half (2.5) to three (3.0) hours of work per week outside of class in preparation for every hour of credit to be earned” (ATS Catalog, 2001-2003, p. 25). In other words, you should spend approximately 7.5 to 9 hours of work per week on this class, in addition to the 2.5 hours of in-class time we spend together. If you find yourself spending significantly greater amounts of time, please see the instructor. � Recommended Collateral Readings Students should select one of the following recommended texts for the book review assignment.
