Book Selecting Tips
Here are some tips for winnowing the available books to a handful of candidates:- Compare the book’s table of contents with the schedule to make sure the topics mentioned in the schedule (both the section titles and the lecture titles) appear in the table of contents. You can also look in the index, but a topic mentioned in the table of contents suggests more thorough coverage than a topic mentioned only in the index (although a topic with a sizeable index entry suggests thorough coverage too).
- Compare test questions and answers in previous versions of the course to the material covered in the book. The book may not lay out the answer (you are, after all, dealing with test questions), but you should be able to piece together the questions and answers from relevant parts of the book.
Once you have the candidate books, you can use your tastes and preferences to pick the final one or two books for the course.
Books with call numbers can be found in the
Guggenheim Library. Linked material from
the ACM or the IEEE can be downloaded for free from the library within the
monmouth.edu domain.
