<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Students often ask how they should
study for my class. Here are my recommendations.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Read a section of the book that is
relevant to the topic either just discussed in lecture or that
is coming up in lecture.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">At the end of each of these
sections you will generally find a worked example problem.
Make sure you understand how the problem is done and then try
the exercise problem that immediately follows the example
problem in the chapter.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Once you have completed the
example problem move to the end of chapter problems. The
initial end of chapter problems are segmented categorically to
match up with the chapter sections. Try the end of chapter
problems that match up with the section you just read.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Repeat this three step process for all
of the relevant chapter sections THEN...</p>

<li value="4">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Attempt the problems I assign from
Burdge from the “Additional Problems” section following the
end of chapter problems. Some of these problems will require
you to apply your knowledge more deeply than the earlier
problems.</p>
