1. Textbooks and Desk Copies

Each instructor is responsible for selecting appropriate textbooks for his/her courses in consultations with the School Dean. The number of books to be ordered will be based upon past enrollment, number of sections, and projections of anticipated enrollment. Faculty are expected to make thorough use of the required textbooks for class assignments. Instructors are responsible for ordering their own desk copies of the course textbooks. Textbook orders are handled through the University Book Store.
