I've gone through our text and my question bank and found the chapter and subsection within the book which contains the relevant material to answer that question. There are about 10 questions on a typical quiz, so you'll see below for each quiz a list of ~10 section titles, one line for each question. This is so amazingly helpful - Now you can really focus your studying time!
In some cases, the relevant material is in two sections; you'll then see two lines for that question, one of them indented. For most questions, the answer to the question is given explicitly in the section listed. But in some cases, the text doesn't address it well, or at all. In this case, you'll see an "L" out in front. That means consult your notes from my "L"ecture on that material. In some cases, the material spreads through the entire chapter, not a single section within that chapter. In other cases, the section contains all the basic facts, but you'll need to do some reasoning to deduce an answer not given explicitly. In these cases, you'll see an "R" (for "reasoning required").
So, like all
good exams, there's a mix of easy, hard, factoid, and reasoning
questions. There's even a couple of extra credit
questions floating around in my test bank. If you get one, there's no mark-off
if you get it wrong, and you get a bonus if you get it right.
Web Readings: Under Quiz #1, note Chapter 0 sections (e.g. 0.1 "Natural Selection and Development of Mind"), and "On Teaching". For our lecture on Earth Climate Change, especially review the PowerPoint I gave in class; in the study guide here it's labelled "Chapter 30".
