Study Questions

I have prepared the following sets of questions to help you focus on the important concepts from each chapter we will cover. There is a lot of detail in many of the chapters, and I've designed these questions to help you avoid getting lost in this detail while working toward the goal of understanding rather than memorizing the material. I hope they are helpful! Each chapter title below is linked to the corresponding set of questions, so just click on the chapter number/title to get to the questions. Be sure to use your notes as well as the text when answering the study questions.
