Simerly and Supplemental Articles
You need your last name, library bar code, and course password (9498) to access these articles via the library e-reserve system. 

Go to this website and click on "title" to sort them in option order.  Look for the six articles with your option (if you know you are the only person with your option in class, read the articles for any other option).  You will need to summarize these six articles.  You may print them and make notes on them or read them on the screen and make separate notes to bring to class on the assigned day.  Be sure to print with the Adobe Reader icon, NOT the web browser print function.

Also, print the Sample Qualitative and Quantitative articles (they appear almost at the bottom if you sort by title) and bring them to class every day with your handouts from above.  Be sure to print with the Adobe Reader icon, NOT the web browser print function.
