Assignment Information:

Assignments consist of multiple choice quizzes and problems and short answer questions. The multiple choice quizzes are available online. The problems and short answer questions need to be completed the old fashioned way (pencil and paper).

Short Answer Problems

The "Problems and Short Answer Questions" are from the required Study Guide. Note that many of the answers to these questions also are provided in the Study Guide . However, please do not cheat yourself through over reliance on the answer key. Thinking about and answering these problems and short answer questions is the best way to prepare for the multiple choice quizzes and the exams.

Although you do not need to submit this material, you are strongly encouraged to complete the T/F and multiple choice quizzes in the Study Guide for each chapter. Again, this will help you prepare for the required quizzes and exams. You may see some of these same questions on the multiple choice quizzes and exams that do count towards your grade.
Concerning the "Problems and Short Answer Questions," please follow all of the instructions below:

  1. Keep a copy of your assignment.
  2. Only work on one side of the paper.
  3. Be neat.
