INFORMATION DESIGN
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assigned Readings
Reading assignments primarily will come from the texts
or related readings. The material should be read when it is assigned.
This will give a common base from which to discuss issues and concerns
on WebCT.
The Covell, Pettersson, and Sevilla texts have been ordered at the URI
Bookstore in Kingston. You will find that they are also available at most
of the online bookstores or can be ordered through one of your local bookstores.
I would suggest that you obtain copies as soon as possible so you can
do the readings for the first week of class.
