+  \item For the chosen input sizes in the results table, can you characterize
+    the performance of the \program{toString} method? Using your results table,
+    how can you tell if this method is fast or not?
+

+
+  \item Why is the \program{SinglyLinkedList} designed to contain both a

+    notation \program{SinglyLinkedList<E>} in its declaration? Why does the
+    \program{Node<E>} class use a similar notation in its declaration?
