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