Required texts:
The 309M Course Reader, available at the copy center in the Student Union
A Writer's Reference, 3rd ed. Diana Hacker, available at the Co-op and other bookstores.
You will also be responsible for reading and responding to transcripts of class discussions which may be made available on the Web site, on reserve at the library, or in handouts.
Diskettes: Bring at least three 3.5 inch diskettes, labeled with your name, to class. Choose name brand diskettes: Sony, Maxell, Verbatim, etc. They should be High Density disks unless you need to transfer work to a computer outside the lab that only reads Double-Density disks (such as a Macintosh over five years old). Itıs a good idea to get a disk wallet or disk box, also labeled with your name, to protect your disks while you transport them.
