What is a CQ?

• Each lecture starts with a CQ which is a
  critical question.
• The CQ is what we answer each day, the objective
  of the lesson. By the end of the lesson,
  students should know the answer to the CQ.(Notes)
• CQs are very important! Each night students
  will once again answer the CQ for HW. CQ HWs
  are worth 10 points each and accumulate quickly.
  They are to be e-mailed to me before the
  next class.
