1.
Do your best to stay up with the reading. There is a lot of information in each chapter
that includes new terminology, concepts and methodology that needs to be
studied to be conversant in class. The Power Point Lecture augments the chapter
reading in many cases, so not necessarily covers all the chapter reading.
2.
Class will start promptly at 7PM.
