Preparing to Teach

Course Book Adoption

You must use PantherShopUWM to post required materials
Students use the bookstore’s listing of required materials to estimate the total cost of taking the course. They are not required to purchase from the bookstore.
To get started, see the see “How to Submit Course Material Adoptions” (DOCX).
Post required materials to students prior to the start of your course on the bookstore site and through a Canvas announcement.
