These will be due on exam days, but work on the questions each week. Please purchase a LARGE ‘Blue Book’ to answer these questions. I suggest that you do not copy the questions, but answer in complete sentences that include reference information to the question, in order to adequately communicate to me that you understand the topic. Alternatively, you can copy the questions. If the review question bluebook is not self-supporting, you will not receive full credit for the answers. Please ask me to discuss the answers of any questions you do not understand. These will not be accepted as ‘late assignments’. Check my web site as a resource for classes: http://www.wou.edu/~brownk I will post lecture slides, answers to in-class activities and review questions, midterm key, etc. for your use. In addition, the online syllabus has hyperlinks to scanned copies of the review questions from the 11th edition of the textbook, so you have access to the proper questions. You will not receive credit for doing the wrong questions from an older edition.Below is some collected information from Western Oregon University Catalog, 2007-2008.
