During lecture try to follow my discussions and if you have any question, don't hesitate to ask. In fact, I want you to ask me questions because I need to know how well you are understanding the subject. Take good notes . I will be using a lot of overhead transparencies, most of which are from pictures or tables included in your book. Therefore, rather than trying to copy them, simply record the page number or the title.
Material written on the board is usually important , so try to take good but brief notes.
When solving problems, try my approach first . Sometimes there are several approaches to solve the same problem. My approach may sometimes differ from one presented in your book or suggested by somebody else. I have devoted a lot of time trying to solve problems in the most logical and easiest way. Therefore, I recommend that you try my approach first.
