2. I have a Lecture Outline and set of Study Questions for every exam topic. They
will all be on Blackboard. Use them as your study guides. The Study Questions and
Exam Questions will be mostly the samebe able to answer every study question using
your lecture notes.
3. The first few minutes of class, most every day, will be a mini-review session. Ill
ask you questions from the main points of the previous class, you will answer them, all
of our lives will be enriched. Its a good reason to show up on timemost of the
questions and answers will be on the exams.
Inevitable Consequences
1. If you cheat on any part of any test, you will FAIL the entire
class. No do-overs, no sympathy from me.
2. If you cheat on any part of any test, I file an Academic Dishonesty Report to the University,
and it goes on your permanent record. Your parents will find out. If you get 2 of them, I
think they kick you out, then youre forced to wander the streets the rest of your life, in
search of food.
The Lesson Here
1. Dont cheat and you have nothing to worry about.
2. Your life will be perfect.
