Chapter Exercises and Activities

Hello Class! In case you haven't already noticed, the Handouts Page on Blackboard contains some useful handouts for you.

Some concepts in the book may be a bit difficult to pick up on right off the bat, and since we are not in a traditional classroom setting, I have posted the answers to the exercises in the book.

For example, this week's reading is Chapter 2 in the Epstein text. There are numerous, vast pages of exercises you can complete in order to understand the material a bit better. Completing these exercises will reinforce the ideas in the chapters when a concept or idea may be difficult for you to grasp.

These exercises are not graded, but HIGHLY recommended in order to really grab a hold of the concepts in the book. In short - please complete the exercises in the book when reading the chapters. DO NOT SKIP OVER THE EXERCISES!!!!

Again, since this is an online class, you may need a bit of a boost when it comes to understanding a concept. Even if you feel you understand the concept well, you should still complete the exercises in the book (and compare your answers with what I have posted on the Handouts Page on Blackboard). Those exercises will reinforce your understanding and really solidify it (which you will need for tests and quizzes in this class - especially the FINAL EXAM.

Let me know if any questions arise about what's on the Handouts Page.

Until later........
