Spring, 2010

Welcome to the website pages for this course.  As you know, this course is a vital part of your training to be an independent practitioner and consumer of research.

As with any graduate level course, you need to be aware that what you get from this course is totally dependent on your commitment to working beyond the minimal requirements.  For example, you have a wealth of opportunity to review research manuscripts, apply information and skills gained in this class, and complete additional reading on-line or at all campus libraries.  The extent of knowledge gained or reinforced from class textbook exercises is totally dependent on your attitude towards your education.  In addition, your involvement in class discussion is your own responsibility.

Note the links in the left margin of this page direct you to pertinent sections of the course website.  I will post PDF files of lecture notes, additional references for background reading, and any other information that I need to get to you throughout this summer session. Make sure you check this site daily.
