How to Succeed in Class
•
Watch the video-lectures as soon as they are posted, or they will
accumulate right before the exam.
• Read the chapter corresponding to each class. Consult the TA
during his office hours if you have questions.
•
The exams will cover the material covered in the slides and video-lectures
only, but it is important to read the textbook.
•
Exams should not be a problem if you have been following the lectures
and reading the textbook.
•
Start home works early; you will have a hard time finishing your
home works if you don’t start as early as possible.
