The following is the file list for CLS 405. The files are listed in the order in which they are used in the course. Click on a link to either view a file or save it to your local machine. All files are in either Microsoft Word® or Powerpoint® format. All course materials are ©2008 by Dr. Donna Sullivan or Dr. La’Toya Richards, except as otherwise noted. Many of the Powerpoint® presentations are quite large. Therefore, these course materials should be accessed via a broadband connection, such as cable modem, DSL, or network, and not though a dial-up connection.
Course Assignments and Procedures
Review the handout materials and reading assignments
listed in the table below.
The due dates for each assignment are listed in the
right-hand column.
The On-Line Examinations will be given in the SHRP
student computer laboratory on the dates indicated.
A comprehensive examination will be given at the
conclusion of the course covering the information presented in the on-line
course materials.
Class meetings will be for the purpose of discussing
information presented in the on-line materials, and for several laboratory
exercises.
Many of the animations require either Flash® or
Shockwave® Players. Should any of the
animations not display properly, the players may be downloaded by clicking one
