102-09 On-Line Readings

1. Simply click on the readings you wish to read.

2. It is recommended that these readings be done at the beginning of the week assigned. If the websites are unavailable the weekend before an exam (computer problem, server error, "404 error" etc.), you are still responsible for that material on the exam.

3. Use the learning objectives to guide your reading. You are only responsible for the text on the web page, not all of the links or advertisements included at the websites.

4. If you do not have access to an internet connection at home, the readings are concise enough to do multiple reading assignments during a single visit to an on-campus computer facility. Additionally, if BI 102 lab gets done early and you have completed the activity, you are welcome to use the computers during that weekly class.
