1. Organize:

These items will help you to become an active reader by giving you a bird’s eye view of the core concepts you will learn.

  • The Chapter Learning Objectives will help you keep track of the important points of the chapter
  • The Chapter Outline will help you see how the material from the book is used in lecture, and will later help you review the material when you study for your final exam.

 2. Learn:

These exercises help you master what you’ve read in the chapter. 

  • The True/False Questions and the Multiple-Choice Questions help you gage how well you understood what you read.

3. Connect:

  • The Exercises ask you to apply the tools and concepts you have learned by presenting you with data to analyze
