Study Guide 1

Q One of your assignments will be a study guide of the chapters leading up to each exam. I believe that study guides are essential for doing well on an exam and as many of you are just starting your academic careers, I hope to impart on to you that belief. There will be 4 study guides due this semester. Each one must cover information for the 4 chapters within the test (ex: study guide 1 will cover chapters 1-4). The final study guide will cover chapters 13, 14, 15, & 16 and be due before the final. I will not require a study guide for the final, as you will have already written 4 by that time. While I will not have a page limit on the guides, they should be at least 3 pages in length. I do not believe that you can effectively cover 4 chapters in less. Please make sure that each study guide is your own work and not copied off of another (I will be checking). Any guides that resemble each other in writing will not be counted (please review plagiarism below) Submission for the study guides will be open a week before the exam and will be closed 11:59pm the night before exam day.
