The serious work in Chapter 5 begins with Section 5.3. Allow as much time as possible for working on Sections 5.3 to 5.7. The WebAssignment for Section 5.3 is due in about 10 days, so you should be starting that section about now. If you'll pace yourself so that you start each of these sections about 10 days before it is due, that will allow for an orderly processing of the info in Chapter 5 and should avoid the kind of "brain dump" that occurs if you try to digest all of Chapter 5 at once.

The Chapter 5 test scores are generally lower than for the other tests. Don't be scared of it, just be prepared. Chapter 5 is also the must fun of any part of the course if you'll allow time for it to soak in.
