Required Readings

Available at the CSU Bookstore, 2400 Euclid Avenue, www.csuohiobookstore.com. You may opt to purchase books online or request them on OhioLink.  If you opt for the latter, it is your responsibility to inquire into the appropriate time to order so you will have the books when you need them.

Additional readings are available online.  A number of these readings are linked to CSU’s Electronic Course Reserve (ECR) and will require you to enter your CSU ID.  The computer labs on the fourth floor of Main Classroom Building and in Fenn Tower offer free printing but do impose a cap of the total number of copies per semester.  You should bring a copy of required reading to class on the day for which it is assigned.
