Title:
Health, The Basics, Green Edition
Author:
Rebecca Donatelle
Edition: 9th
I have posted the syllabus and class schedule on my webpage at www.cerritos.edu/nbueno and in the syllabus in TalonNet.
The text book we will be using is Health, The Basics, 9th
edition by Rebecca Donatelle. The Cerritos College book store has a Custom
Edition for Cerritos College which is the same as the 9th edition. So if you
are purchasing through another source make certain it is the 9th edition. You may want to order it now to
ensure a timely delivery.
IMPORTANT NOTE: CourseCompass is
not necessary to complete this course successfully. We will be utilizing TalonNet for all graded work. However, you may want to
purchase CourseCompass to utilize the study tools and
access the e-book. CourseCompass is the only way to
get the e-book. The college bookstore is only selling copies of the text with CourseCompass bundled, if you want to purchase a book only,
or a used book you will need to use a different option for purchase.
See you at the orientation.
