The Instructor’s Manual includes a list of learning objectives, instructional hints, suggest ed
kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq
activities, and resources for each chapter. Files for the figures and tables in the textb ook are
kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq
found on the instructor’s website. It is my hope that these resources will make i t easier for
kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq
course instructors to teach the material in a meaningful manner. Because th e courses that
kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq
use this textbook are quite diverse, it is impossible to organize the chapte rs into one best
kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq
order. Each instructor should consider his or her individual program and determine which
kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq kq
chapters need to be taught and in what order.
