begin developing conceptual model Readings (before class on the 6th): A newspaper article
that introduces the site and issues: http://www.bostonphoenix.com/archive/features/98/12/17/WOBURN.html A web page that holds a lot of Woburn
information. You don't have to look at it all, but
I think it is helpful to get a feel for the location: http://frontpage.et.byu.edu/woburn/ |
