Review Materials
There is a considerable amount of knowledge, perspective, and a variety of skills that you are expected to carry over from previous courses to build upon in the course you are taking. Frequently this knowledge is a bit rusty. The items on this page were created in order to help you brush up on stuff you are already supposed to know. You may need to review them more than once and you will almost certainly need other resources since only the basics are covered.
