  What you do…

1)       You will learn about the topic from various websites – most of which are not authored by me.  Be aware that sometimes you will find more information on the site then you need to learn for this course.  So, look at the additional material at an “awareness” level but not “a need to know” level.  If you find a site no longer exists please let me know right away.

2)       Often the sites will have student problems that you are to do and self-correct.  Other times you will complete an assignment authored by me.
