Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Periodical articles give up-to-date information to supplement textbook readings. The statements that textbooks have incorrect information and/or reading articles allows instructors to provide information in lectures do not provide the best understanding. Copyright laws do not prevent instructors from using material in lectures.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
It is important that the student learn about features and services of the LRC. Asking the librarian for a self-guided audiotape tour is a self-directed approach to gaining the needed information. If this is not available, it is likely that the librarian will offer an alternative. Perceiving being ill as a missed opportunity is unacceptable, as the student needs the information. Asking to see another's notes would be inadequate to understand the physical layout. Reporting unawareness of the LRC features to the instructor attempts to make the missed tour the instructor's problem rather than the student's.
