	This page contains links to PowerPoints and other sources we viewed in class. The PowerPoints are posted in Office 2007 format. If you don't have that version of Office, you can purchase it from the campus store for $12, or you can download for free either the PowerPoint Viewer or the Office Compatability Pack. Many of these items are only viewable if you have a RIC campus account--you will be asked to enter your username and password before you can access them. Instructions for accessing these items: When you click on a link for these readings, you will get a box that asks for your username and password. RIC students can access these items by entering their username (in the form ric-acad\username) and their regular account password. If you have difficulty accessing these documents, you should contact User Support Services at 456-8803 immediately. If you plan to print these PowerPoints, you can conserve paper and improve your print quality by changing the setttings in PowerPoint before printing. Select "handouts" and choose 3 or 6 slides per page, then select "pure black and white" under color/greyscale. PowerPoints will be posted throughout the semester as needed.
