Below are links to on-line self-assessment exercises developed to assist the student with understanding material within the week(s) listed; due to spatial and temporal limitations, it ought to be obvious that not all of the relevant material is here included. That said, this should give the student some idea of how to study, and what kind of grasp of the material might be required for the student to be in a position to answer more probing questions.

 

The best way to utilize this resource is to first see if you can discern the correct answer. Read the explanation. Even after you’ve chosen the correct answer, go through all of the other options. Understanding why some of the answers are incorrect can help you better understand the relevant concepts.
