It is important to understand that the reading done outside of class is meant to complement
class lectures, not simply duplicate them. Materials will be presented frequently in class about
which nothing is said in your readings. Similarly, you are expected to learn on your own
about readings in your textbook and in this packet without all of them being necessarily
lectured on in class. The degree of overlap will vary, but you can count on being tested on
some material which you are to have mastered on your own. Your grade will be based on
your work both inside and outside of class.
