You remain responsible for all material covered in class; this study guide highlights the most important material in the text book that complements that material, in addition to textbook material that we did not cover. I have included a "table of contents" so you can identify those chapters that you particularly have questions about. I have also included a mail link for each chapter for you to ask follow-up questions. These will have the subject header pre-set so that I can easily sort the e-mail by topic. I urge you to use this handout, as well as the other study aids available to assist in your preparation for this exam. Good luck!
