Skimming through the main ideas in a section shortly before that section is covered in class should help you understand the lecture -- try it!

Also, see the links to practice quizzes/tests on my website.

the type of scantron form you will need for this class is SC882-E (the same as used on Test 2). This scantron form is white

you time in the test. This scantron form is sold locally at only the UTA bookstore (as far as I know).
