	While you're out shopping, look for and purchase several report covers: These cost about .25 at any office supply store, or less if you find them on sale.  Please don't purchase slinky plastic covers, or slide-on bindings, or binders to use for your essays!  You will need three covers for your four essays, and you might want another in which to keep notes and handouts.

Other Necessary Items

Scantron type #882, .15 at library or bookstore.  You'll need these for occasional quizzes and for your final.  Please keep them with you in your binder ~ don't run out of class to buy one or depend on borrowing one from someone else.  It's a good idea to keep several in your binder.

Library Card

E-mail account

Library Printer Card (optional if you can ALWAYS print at home)

Floppy disks for saving your work.  Always save your work on TWO disks.  Keep one with you for work you do at school, and keep the other safe at home.  You should do this in addition to saving your work on your hard drive.

Calendar, date book, or handheld computer for keeping track of assignments and due dates.
