Addendum to Syllabus

726 Sample Quiz Questions

These questions cover the entire course, and include some questions about material that I will not cover at all in the course and therefore will not ask about on exams. I may not ask any of these exact questions on the exams… they are just examples of the type of questions that do get asked. Best way to use these questions: learn the material first, then see if you know the correct answers to a few relevant questions from this list.
