<strong>Optional</strong> <strong>Self</strong>-<strong>Review</strong> 1<br />
This self-review is meant to help guide you as you do the assigned reading, and to help<br />
you study/review notes taken during class. You will not be turning this in. It is an<br />
optional study guide. However, these are the types of questions that appear on the<br />
midterm and final. It is helpful to study the material weekly versus waiting until the<br />
exams.<br />
