Summary

This student workbook in a three-hole punched/tear-out worksheet format, written by the author, provides a review of each chapter of the main text. Developed in conjunction with the main text, the workbook helps the student apply the concepts introduced in the course to real-world production scenarios. The workbook may also be used as a device to evaluate students' level of production skills, which is especially important in classes where students are at various levels of production experience. The new edition has many new exercises that will help bridge the gap between the concepts and the application. The new edition provides a stronger emphasis on convergence.
