- 4. The assigned readings Read to understand the gist of the articles. Try to understand the core concepts. Why the heck did I assign that reading? There is no need to memorize the minutiae, but you still need to read more than just the abstract. I will try to have everything available through Blackboard or some other e-source.

(Dissertation or patentability) Combination of print and electronic resources. First assignment is about 50/50. Assignments 2-6 will more electronic than print, about a 70/30 split.
