Welcome Internet students! I am so happy to have you in my class. I look forward to the 4 weeks we will spend together. I promise to make it as enjoyable and as informative as possible. We do not use a specific book in class. Any book on the Internet will cover the items I discuss in class. You may chose to go get a book at your local book store for additional information or not. It is up to you.
