We are going to skip reports for now and return to them towards the end of the semester since they are more difficult to type. You will be typing correspondence (letters and memos) followed by tables and then reports in the next few weeks. Just follow the assignment sheet carefully as you will be moving around the textbook quite a bit from now on.
