SELF
QUIZZES
Recommended
Use: Study the material first using the appropriate PowerPoint presentation(s)
and web pages. Note: the textbook is optional; the page numbers are provided for those who want to read more in the book. All information on the Exam comes from the PowerPoint presentations and the Self-Quizzes. When you think you know the material well enough, take out a
blank piece of paper and take the appropriate quiz. After you have answered
all questions, grade your quiz. Repeat until you get a "good" grade
on the self quiz. A good grade on the self quiz should translate into a good
grade on that portion of the exam. See the Fail Safe
Study Technique.
