The top of this page contains hyper links to the
syllabus, test information, the concepts test (final), and data interpretation project
(DIPs) guidelines.
The rest of the page is devoted to class notes and
textbook reading assignments.
As the student scrolls down, he or
she will encounter four blocks labeled Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4. These blocks
correspond to test blocks. The material in Part 1 includes six sets of class notes and
relevant chapters from the textbook. The first test comes from this material.
Class Notes
The notes are a critical
part of the class. Nearly everything you do in the course revolves around my lecture
notes. The textbook is easily a secondary resource for this class. The student can answer
many of the study questions using the notes. A few of the study questions explore material
from the text and/or data projects. These questions are flagged either "Text
Question" or "From Project # 1".
Warning:
As students read the class notes, be aware that there are occasional links to other pages,
which are embedded within the notes. Generally, these links lead to charts or data
presentations. Occasionally, they lead to more text.
