There are two major purposes of a topic outline: 1) To provide an organizational structure for what we do in class, and 2) To help you focus your studying efforts. Even though the questions/items listed on a topic outline may seem simple, you should have a thorough understanding of the concepts.

If you do not feel confident in your knowledge of some items, consult your notes, consult your book, talk with others in the class (you all have a stake in doing well), or come talk with me.

I do not provide written explanations to the questions/items in the topic outlines. We will cover these in lecture. I believe that you can learn the material from the lecture, from your notes, from talking with me, from the book, or from discussions with others in class. I believe it is important for the rest of your life to develop skills in listening, reading comprehension, organizing your thoughts, and group work.

Please feel free to talk with me about anything in the topic outlines.

Your text

The study guides include references to pages in the text where similar information is discussed. However, please realize that the lecture will cover material that is not in the text, the text may not explain everything we discuss in lecture, and the text may include much more than we will discuss in lecture.
