Belajar tanpa berpikir tidak ada gunanya, sedangkan berpikir tanpa belajar adalah berbahaya. Mohon diperhatikan untuk perkuliahan besok (9 Juni 2009). Setiap mahasiswa diharuskan menyiapkan pertanyaan terkait topik kuliah PCR. Pertanyaan harus merujuk pada materi kuliah Chapter 7 dengan menyebutkan nomor halaman sesuai dengan pertanyaan yang diajukan. Jika pertanyaan tidak sesuai dengan materi kuliah maka nilai kuis akan dikurang satu nomor.
