Homework Ch 2-6
All homework can be found in your coursepack. However, if you have placed an order for your coursepack at the bookstore and are still waiting for it to come in, we've posted the first few assignments for you.
Work Shows
Work shows are interactive PowerPoint lessons. We've included all work shows on your CD in your coursepack. However, for your convenience, we've also posted them here. They work on most computers and laptops. If you have any trouble opening these files, we recommend that you go to the computer lab on campus. You will be quizzed over the work show material, so it is important that you review the work shows early, in case you encounter any technical difficulties.
