A few notes on Study Guides

• You MUST be VERY specific if you ask questions about the study guide (“what do we need to know about ‘right to privacy’” is not an acceptable question)

• Terms under the heading “primarily from the book” may have been covered in lecture, but the question was written based on the book.  Likewise, terms under the heading “primarily from lecture” may have been covered in the book, but the questions were written based on lecture.  This should help guide you to the best source to study for that topic.

• A study guide is a kind and generous privilege granted by your professor (this is true for any class).  You are NOT entitled to a study guide.  If, for some reason, you do not like the study guide, you are free to ignore it and proceed with studying on your own.

• If your method of studying involves looking up terms in the index when you haven’t actually read the text, you WILL get a lower grade than you expect.  This has ALWAYS been true.  What makes you think I wrote the question about a topic from the few paragraphs surrounding that phrase on the page specified by the index?  I may have written the question based on something that refers back to the concept on a later page which is not listed in the index.  If, despite this warning, you proceed with studying in this manner, you will hopefully be able to pull your low grade up on subsequent exams by doing the actual reading.
