Books and Materials:  Students should check out a copy of the textbook from the bookstore for use at home.  I will maintain a set of the textbooks in the classroom for use during the class period. 

They will also need a pencil, a pen, a red pen, a dry erase marker and a little rag to wipe off the whiteboard, pocket folder for handouts, binder, ruled paper, and graph paper.  Note-taking and critical thinking skills are important and will be stressed daily.  Class notes for each section will be available at the class web-site the day after that material is covered in class for students who are absent.
