Lecture Outlines and Study Questions

I have made lecture outlines and study questions available for each chapter.  You should read these before coming to lecture so that you know what is going to be discussed and what you are expected to know and understand.  Writing out the answers for these study questions after the lecture will indicate to you what information you already understand and what information you may need some additional work on.  You should do these questions as we finish the material in class as it will help you better understand the information.
