Other Course Material: Besides online readings, the weekly assignments may include listening to CDs, viewing videos or DVD's. Most CDs, videos, and DVD's are on overnight reserve at the library. A few are on three-day reserve. The articles are available online with links on the course web page.

Remark: In this independent study course, it is important that you do not wait until shortly before the due date to begin the assignments.
