The class lectures will follow the chapters in the text. And for maximal learning, it will be best if you have read the assigned chapter before attending class. Lectures can be more of a discussion format if all have read the material, so do your part and come to class prepared. I am committed to your learning process. Please feel free to just catch me for more basic questions, but for questions needing more extensive conversation, schedule an appointment with me.
Research suggests that students who talk to their instructors get better grades.
Don't let small problems during the semester grow to a crisis at the end. It's always easier to fix anticipated difficulties than to untangle a mess. Since technology has become such an integral part of the education process, every student should become at least partially literate in the area of information technology. However, it is not always feasible to instruct students in, for example, computer usage in conjunction with class material because of time constraints. Therefore, students requiring assistance using computers, e-mail, public folders, and other technology should take advantage of the resources available to them in the Olin Center.
