This chart synchronizes Duiker & Spielvogel chapters or parts of chapters with the lecture subject areas. Try to read in advance of the lecture, for best results. However, you must understand that the lectures are not based on the textbook. We will study the subject, not the book. Therefore, the question "What chapter are we on?" does not apply!
Take textbook quizzes in the order in which they appear in WebCT.
Assignments in the Anson supplement will be posted in WebCT, but the overall goal is to read the chapters in order, and to finish before midterm. Give special attention to Chapter 2. Each chapter has self-testing questions. Some of these will appear on exams.
