<p>I have a notebook/binder for each course I teach. There have been many times when access to a computer was limited and I had to rely on hardcopies. Also, as I read professional journals, I tend to discover articles that I want to share with the students. Copies of these go straight into the notebook for future reference. The notebooks also help when new faculty are brought on board. It gives them insight into what material is covered and comfort in seeing that most of the material is already at their fingertips.</p>
