  I debated whether to use a hardcopy text for your class, but most things
  such a text would cover are found online.  This use of online sources is
  common for technocal writing classes, since texts can run up to $75 per
  book.

MATERIALS

  You will need a pack of 3.5"computer disks.

  OPTIONAL:
  I suggest the option of using a zip disk or writeable CD for this who know
  how to burn a CD.  We have that capability on terminals in CCIT 319.

   Later in the class, you will need a paper 2-pocket folder for written units
   that you hand in to me.  I prefer that you get a separate folder for each unit
   to help you keep all side matter organized.

   Poster Presentations:  As of right now, I am leaning toward just having
   you draw your posters on the whiteboard.  So buy a NEW pack of erasable
   markers in several colors. 

   Copies of drafts in multiples as required for small groups.

   I shall try to add more to this list, if I think of anything.
