Week 1 & 2 Recommended Readings
Every week we'll suggest readings to help with that week's tasks. We understand that you may be pressed for time - the readings are only there to help and guide you. Read as little or as much as you like/can/need in order to answer the tasks as well as learn the material. The readings should substantially decrease the time that you have to spend on the tasks. We suggest checking out the recommended links to the smartcopying site and the powerpoint presentations first.
