READ FIRST: The Instructor believes that supplementary learning materials (e.g. Chapter Learning Objectives, PowerPoint slide handouts, Targeted Exam Study Guides, etc.) are important aids to assist the Learner in comprehending textbook content. However, the Learner must understand that these supplementary materials will NOT replace the required textbook, which will be the ultimate and primary source of information for exams, quizzes, and other class activities. If a Learners relies solely on supplementary learning material to study for this course, then they run the risk of not succeeding on exams, quizzes, and class activities due to incomplete knowledge of textbook content. Supplementary materials will NOT cover all of textbook content; therefore, it is imperative that Learners stay abreast of textbook content, critically reading and studying chapters and using supplementary materials to only aid in understanding.
