Study guide

There is a study guide for those that find the material in the book demanding, see here for different editions: Edition 8  and  Edition 9. The emphasis in this study guide is on those parts of the course that are necessary for getting a PASS grade at the course. Those that aim for a higher grade should consult the course syllabus. 

Note: The study guide suggested here is being revised for the new edition of the book.
