Document Summary

Assignments: 5: these are pertaining to the five readings. The assignments are pass-fail: the readings are the textbook for the class and topics will be integrated into lectures, goal is to get us to read but without buying a textbook, more on these later. They are to prove you did the readings. Questions are multiple choice and will be integrative, meaning you need to know how to apply your knowledge. Make sure to memorize what needs to be memorized in order to understand the questions being asked. Prof says that he will be explicit about what he will be evaluating on the exam. He does not like trivia questions and will not try to artificially bring down the curve of the class. He will be posting questions like what he will put in the evaluations.
