• Some Advise
• Attentive Attendance is very importantDo not
  miss even the first few minutes of a class- they
  are crucial
• Ask for clarifications and participate in
  discussions Active Learning Learning is
  not a spectator sport
• Set yourself a goal for this course and work
  hard to achieve it. Your grade is earned by
  you - not given to you by the instructor
• Revise regularly Never allow things to slip by
  leaving you way behind
• Homework assignments Quizzes are very
  important for this course
• Utilize the office hours fully - not just before
  exams
• Use the WebCT and Internet resources to widen
  your scope on the course material
• Course slides on the WebCT are being updated.
  Print only after material has been covered in the
  class

A note on Active Learning Learner should be
actively involved in the education process

• Research shows that learning by students improves
  considerably when they
• Talk about what they are learning,
• Write about it,
• Get it from multiple sources
• Discuss it with others,
• Relate it to past experiences,
• Apply it to their daily lives,
• Make it part of themselves.

The lab is the main active learning component
for this course Get the most out of it!
