In addition
you should have the following (useful for all your courses, not just this one!):
- A good college-level dictionary
- A good writing handbook (for reference information on grammar and
style) such as Andrea Lunsford’s The Everyday Writer, Andrea Lunsford or
Diana Hacker’s A Writer’s Reference
- Access to a computer with internet capabilities, and a working and
regularly checked CU email account – I will occasionally send emails to the
class using the AMI Banner email function. These go to your CU email and I will
expect that you check that email account regularly.
