Important: The purpose of this study guide is to assist you in understanding this course. It is not a substitute for attendance or taking notes during class.
I would strongly suggest that you print out this document and keep it in a notebook. During lectures you can use this guide to help follow along with the information being presented. In addition, the guide has spaces where you can fill in information offered during class periods.
The answers to the questions identified by page numbers in Bold Face then written in Italics are to be found in the textbook. Finish the answer by completing the sentence.
There are also worksheets throughout the study guide. You will also find the grading rubrics that I use to evaluate your presentations.
Important: A total of four quizzes worth 16% of your final grade will be given this semester. The answers to the questions for those quizzes will be based entirely on the information in the study guide. During the quizzes you will be allowed to refer to your study guide, but nothing else including the textbook. You will not be allowed to share your study guide with another classmate during the quizzes.
