What's the work like?
Each student must compose and submit five factual questions for each assigned chapter each week. There will be ten questions handed in per student per week. Hard copy (printed, not hand written) of each week's questions is due at the beginning of the corresponding lecture. In addition, the questions must be sent by e-mail to Professor Jaeger. It is optional but encouraged that each of the students in the course also get copies of the questions. This can be done as described by Dr. Jaeger. Each week's questions must be e-mailed before the start of the corresponding lecture. These questions after review by Professor Jaeger and the Faculty will form the majority of both the midterm and final exams. The first of these, the mid-term, will be taken "open book" at home while the final examination, taken in class, will be closed book. The test questions should be broad and conceptual in nature, without being simplistic. Of the five questions required for each chapter, no more than two may be of the True-False nature, and no more than three may be Multiple choice questions. You are encouraged to use alternatives such as Matching (in which one question would contain several pairs of terms) and K-type (I,II,III, I&II, I&II&III, etc.) questions. An example of a K-type question can be found in the Sample Question section below. The format for labeling each of these questions involves designating your name, the date of submission, the number of the corresponding chapter, the question number, the question topic and the question type (multiple choice, true-false, etc). This should then be followed by the question itself and plus the correct answer. Finally, note the page, paragraph, and sentence location to reference from where in the text you obtained the material for the test question. An example of the proper format for labeling can also be viewed in the Question format example section of this site. You do not have to print each question on a separate sheet of paper. By obtaining questions from each of your classmates, you will acquire an extensive study guide which you can then use to review material for the midterm and final examinations. However, please remember that although you may exchange questions after they have been composed, you must create each of your test questions independently.

Each week you will be responsible for
reading certain chapters in the text, Casarett and
Doull's Toxicology: The Basic Science of Poisons. Ownership of a
copy of this book is a "Sine Qua Non" for the course. The
