The Instructor’s Manual includes a list of learning objectives, instructional hints, suggest ed
B B B B B B B B B B B B




activities, and resources for each chapter. Files for the figures and tables in the textb ook are

found on the instructor’s website. It is my hope that these resources will make i t easier for
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B




course instructors to teach the material in a meaningful manner. Because th e courses that
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B




use this textbook are quite diverse, it is impossible to organize the chapte rs into one best

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

chapters need to be taught and in what order.
