The Instructor’s Manual includes a list of learning objectives, instructional hints,
.e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e




suggested activities, and resources for each chapter. Files for the figures and tables in the
.e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e




textbook are found on the instructor’s website. It is my hope that these resources will
.e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e




make it easier for course instructors to teach the material in a meaningful manner.
.e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e




Because the courses that use this textbook are quite diverse, it is impossible to organize
.e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e




the chapters into one best order. Each instructor should consider his or her individual
.e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e




program and determine which chapters need to be taught and in what order.
.e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e .e
