NOTE: What
is meant by “work through material” in the text? If the material is quite new
to you, then you should actually work through the material doing each of the
steps. If most of the material is review, then you may read over it only
stopping to do steps that are less familiar. In either case, you should use
the “Concepts Review” at the end of each chapter to be certain you are
absorbing the material. ·
Remember
that your participation in class counts for one 30-point assignment. ·
