Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use an older edition of the book?
  There are many changes between the ninth and tenth editions of the textbook. The tenth edition update includes much more material, in terms of both content and new supporting material. In short, there are important differences. If you are thinking,
  Should you use the new book? Probably.
  Your job is to follow the material and learn it, however you manage it. Books are expensive, yes, but so are college credits. The book can be sold when you are finished with it and the digital edition, 10e, is affordable.
• Will exams have questions about material not covered in class lectures?
  Not intentionally, but if I somehow make a mistake and one slips in, it will not count towards the exam grade.
• Is your lateness policy strictly enforced?
  Absolutely. Hand stuff in on time.
