Registration Notes

Textbook note: For both my PR and T&E class, two items are marked as required. However, both involve the same text: the only difference in the both cases is that students have the option to add to the required text an Explanations and Examples book for an additional $5 if they buy the casebook. The bookstore will mark "recommended" on the E+E Bundle.
