Exam questions will be drawn from the lecture material (the slides outline the concepts but by themselves won't be sufficient for the exam - you also need to be in class and paying attention to what's going on). The text book supplements the lectures and can will describe some of the concepts that I talk about in a different fashion.
(Note: these are my early approximations of rough breakdowns to give you an idea of what you'll face so you can get an idea of how to study for your exam, the exam composition will likely change as I actually create the exam).
