The Instructor’s Manual includes a list of learning objectives, instructional hints,
ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki*



suggested activities, and resources for each chapter. Files for the figures and tables
ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki*



in the textbook are found on the instructor’s website. It is my hope that these
ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki*



resources will make it easier for course instructors to teach the material in a
ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki*



meaningful manner. Because the courses that use this textbook are quite diverse, it
ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki*



is impossible to organize the chapters into one best order. Each instructor should
ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki*



consider his or her individual program and determine which chapters need to be
ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki* ki*



taught and in what order.
