Laboratory Study Guide
You may approach this study guide in one of two ways. You may download the chapters from my web site to your hard drive or a disk (if you are using college computers). Print this out and then work your way through the exercises. You may then type in the answers to the questions and send to me by clicking the "SUBMIT" button at the end of each chapter. You may also complete the exercises while on-line and submit directly to me. I will try to check your answers and provide appropriate comments as soon as possible. Please be patient.
This study guide is offered to provide you with an idea as to what I consider important in this course. Remember, it is a guide and is not meant to be all encompassing for the course. Concentrate on the "objectives" of the guide titled "What you need to know." These are fairly broadly worded, but I take my test questions from these objectives. I suggest you do the "terms to know", "people to know" and "genera to know" sections as we cover the topic in class. The same for "What you need to know." You may make corrections at any time on the fill-in-the-blanks or multiple choice, as long as you don't click on the "SUBMIT" button.
