Common Limitations or Challenges
This document provides questions, but does *not* include answers. It’s a self-assessment tool, requiring students to recall and articulate information from lectures and the textbook. It doesn’t replace the need for comprehensive study of the assigned readings and lecture notes. It also focuses specifically on the content covered in the listed chapters and may not encompass the entirety of the course material.
