General Study Hint - Compare slides with text.  Read and work problems in text(s) corresponding to topics covered in slides.  Don't have to limit yourself to Adkins, other texts may be clearer to you, so look around.  The internet can be a good source.  Some other universities have their slides and problems available to all on the web.  Our class slides are the best guide to the topics and depth of subjects covered.
