Study Tips |
Stay Current. Everything you do in this course will require a knowledge of something else you have done. It is very difficult to catch up once you fall behind.
Form a Study Group! It is very difficult to impossible to find a tutor for this course. Work with one or more of your fellow students on a regular basis.
Practice! This is an application class. You have to do it to learn it.
Read Read Read There is a world of information on this topic available in books and websites. You have to read to get the information. Read even when you don’t understand what you are reading. If you don’t like to read Tough!
Start early! This topic can be very tedious and often takes more time than you realize. Give yourself plenty of time.
Use ALL of the class lab time. Start you homework before you leave class. This gives you a good start while your mind is on the topic and you can ask questions. |
