Study Questions

The rationale for posting study questions is twofold: Study questions serve primarily to help you focus your reading of the course materials to enahance comprehnsion. Additionally, the study questions provide the long list from which I will draw a smaller review and test set for each exam. I encourage you to read the texts with the study questions, having as your goal answering those question that you feel you understand and identifying questions about which you would like to recieve further clarification in lectures and small group meetings.
