Preparations for Class

With three weeks to go before class starts, it's time to get moving on a couple key items:

 - Have a close read of the "Course Materials" page on the website. Taking care of the items noted will put you well prepared for class. 

 - Take special note of the reading required before the first class.  Getting a head start on the book reading will pay big dividends.  

 - And specifically, please be sure to fully read and digest the "Guide to Assessment" prior to the first class. 

Looking forward to having you all in class.
