Supplemental Readings Resources (Web Sites to Use)
Here is a list of websites to accompany our course. Although you may be directly taken to some links, often you may be brought here.
We have tried to make an organized and comprehensive list below of websites keyed to our course content.
For example, in each week's readings when you see supplemental readings underlined, you can come here to find resources for you to go to for the supplemental work.
Other resources are included to help you with written assignments, such as charts, summaries, quizzes, and essays.
If you find an especially good sight as you surf, let me know and we will add it to this list and my files.
More supplemental sites are posted than you are required to read, be sure to read all assigned ones. Those of you who see yourselves as "A" students or who plan to transfer should read as many others as possible.
