How do I use these BA199 Webpages?
These webpages constitute an electronic textbook. If you would prefer to read a printed copy, you may purchase the packet in the U of O Bookstore. If the packet is not on the shelf, ask the person at the help desk to order one for you. It will arrive the next day.
