ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND SOMETHING (There are no stupid questions, just non-pertinent ones) REVIEW THE ASSIGNED CHAPTERS BEFORE THE LECTURES (At least look at the maps and pictures; this helps to ensure that lecture materials are not completely alien to you) REVIEW YOUR NOTES AFTER EACH LECTURE (This ensures that everything you have written down makes sense to you and saves time and frustration while reviewing for tests) DO NOT ASSUME THAT A TOPIC IS NOT IMPORTANT BECAUSE I AM USING HUMOR TO DISCUSS IT (It is my personal style to inject humor whenever I can; if it is probably repeat it in a more important, I’ll serious tone) DO NOT THROW AWAY WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED (While each section of this course is designed to teach you discreet information about various topics, the course is organized so that each new section compliments and builds upon the previous ones; do not be surprised if I expect you to apply the information you already have been exposed to when new subject matter arises. Also, if on a teaching career, believe me when I say rely on your you’re planning you’ll course notes and textbooks in that first critical year) © David S. Hardin
