Special Note About Assigned Readings and In-class coverage

     It is not possible to cover all the important points of an assigned reading during classroom time. Class time will be devoted to covering some but not all the important topics in the reading. Class time also serves to cover additional topics outside of the assigned reading, and to carry out demonstrations, class exercises and group work that – hopefully – facilitate your learning of important points.
     Consequently, it is your responsibility to bring to my attention points that you think deserve further coverage. You may do this by posing focused questions about a reading at the beginning of class, meeting with me during office hours, or setting up a special time to see me and go over the material.

I suggest that you adopt the following strategies for doing the readings:

• Read each assignment
  

• After an initial reading, review the questions available on the question list
  
• If you do not have clear answers, go back to the reading
  
• Bring remaining questions to class
