| What do students do the first week of class? Why, go to the bookstore, of course. Only at this bookstore you don't have to stand in lines. So two of your activities involve going to bookstores. The last assignment has to do with communicating with the publisher of your textbook.
Visit the Chemeketa Bookstore at http://bookstore.web.chemeketa.edu
Send a message to the discussion area about how the bookstore could serve online students.
Next visit the cyberspace bookstore at http://www. amazon.com You cannot telephone this bookstore, nor can you go and sit down in this bookstore. You can only visit this bookstore online. As a student in this class, you need to find 2 books ( Yes. You may choose more than 2, if you like. No you do NOT need to buy them):
1 study skills book on any topic in this class and
1 "fun" book of your choice
Bookmark your study skills choice, so you can get back here. If you open your word processor as well, you can jot down some ideas about the book, so you can remember this when you go to the discussion.
Then "virtually" bring your ideas and impressions and tell us in the discussion area, what study skills book you found and what "fun" book you found.

You can see the explorer in my eduational philosophy for this class:
- Tell me and I'll forget.
- Teach me and I'll remember.
- Involve me and I'll learn
