Welcome to the Resource site for the Cross-campus Commercialization Class.

Below you will find access to course materials and other resources that are designed to assist you with this course.

Please download the documents as you need them; and please also let me know if you have any comments, questions, or suggestions.

(PLEASE NOTE: I am providing this website to (hopefully) speed up your access to class resources; and also to make it possible for you to have access to these resources for a longer period of time beyond the conclusion of this class, than is presently allowed by the current TTU Class website retention policy.
