Class time will be mainly used for dealing with difficult concepts and areas which need extra practice. As in all courses, reading the relevent material before coming to class will help you get the most out of your class experience. Reading assignments will help you focus on doing that, and as a bonus you will create your own test review material. You will be assigned to create a brief chapter outline before the material is begun in class.For each chapter, read the sections (except for those explicitly excluded). Use a maximum of 1 sheet of paper (or 2 faces). For each section write a point by point summary of the main idea. Including a simple sketch may often be useful. For sections where formulas are given, include the MAIN formula in your summary together with an explanation of what the formula is for and what the names and units of the variables are. At the end of the summary, write a question that you have about this material that is relevant to your own life experience. This assignment is due the class before the start of that chapter and will be graded on a check+, check, check- scale.
