The Instructor’s Manual includes a list of learning objectives, instructional hints, suggested
v v v v v v v v v v v




activities, and resources for each chapter. Files for the figures and tables in the textbook are
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




found on the instructor’s website. It is my hope that these resources will make it easier for
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




course instructors to teach the material in a meaningful manner. Because the courses that use
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




this textbook are quite diverse, it is impossible to organize the chapters into one best order.

Each instructor should consider his or her individual program and determine which

chaptersneedtobetaughtandinwhatorder.
