PRE-COURSE READING ASSIGNMENT
The instructors have selected a series of journal articles that will aid in the delivery of course material if read in advance of the training session. Most articles are of a review nature, but some may have content with which students are not familiar. Please keep a list of any unfamiliar terms and/or concepts so that we can collect and discuss them on our first morning together. We will not be providing a printed version in Corvallis, so you may want to print and bring them with you to the conference.
