Seminar Topics - Linked to each item below are related web
sites. All the links might not all be active nor are they to be considered
the "best" or only sources you should check for information.
Please let me know if you find some links which do not
work.
As students at TCNJ, you don't need me to direct you to specific sites related
to your DID sub-topic. You can "Google" any of the key terms found
in the SET text or discovered through your research.
Each student MUST REVIEW the
text readings related to their DID sub-topic PRIOR to beginning to work on the
DID assignment.

Table of Contents
I am making every attempt to reduce the number of sheets of paper distributed in this class and to minimize that number of pages you have to print out. This is being done in the interest of conserving both limited funds and natural resources. It is up to you to read the required material I have posted on-line and to submit the required work ON TIME. If that is not possible you MUST contact me and explain what is happening. Not doing that will result in a grade reduction. It is your responsibility to get in touch with me either via email at edelbach@tcnj.edu or phone at 609-771-2783 if an assignment will be late and tell me when it will be submitted. PLAN AHEAD!
Remember, ORGANIZATION is the KEY to LIFE. . . . .at least I think it is!
