The Instructor’s Manual includes a list of learning objectives, instructional hints, suggested
n n n n n n n n n n n




activities, and resources for each chapter. Files for the figures and tables in the textbook are
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




found on the instructor’s website. It is my hope that these resources will make it easier for
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




course instructors to teach the material in a meaningful manner. Because the courses that
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




use this textbook are quite diverse, it is impossible to organize the chapters into one best
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




order. Each instructor should consider his or her individual program and determine which
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




chapters need to be taught and inwhat order.
