WHAT’S THIS?

When I was a student, one of my professors had a policy of allowing students to bring a single 8½" × 11" sheet of paper into our exams. We were allowed to write whatever we wanted on this page beforehand and use it during the exam. I spent hours trying to distill the course material to its essential ideas and information. I mastered the art of tiny writing. And I was always very proud of the summary documents that I crafted.

It was with those little “cheat-sheets” in mind that I created the “Review & Rehear se” R&R guides. Please understand that they are not meant to be a replacement for the chapter itself. Rather, they are a prompt, to help you recall, review, and contemplate the most important material from the chapter after you have spent time reading and studying it. I hope they help you!
