• HW – Nightly CQ’s
What is a CQ?
• Each lecture starts with a “CQ” which is a critical
question.
• The CQ is what we answer each day, the objective of the
lesson. By the end of the lesson, students should know
the answer to the CQ.(Notes)
• CQ’s are very important! Each night students will once
again answer the CQ for HW. CQ HW’s are worth 10
points each and accumulate quickly. They are to be emailed to me before the next class.
