IV. Tips for Doing Well in
the Class |
|
|
·
Do not miss class
and expect to keep up. Be in class and on time Attendance is
critical. ·
Keep solving problems! Do lots
of problems - not just the assigned homework. Learning to differentiate and integrate is a
skill, and like playing the piano or shooting hoops, practice makes perfect. ·
Form a study group with your classmates. Discuss questions and answers with them.
One of the best ways to thoroughly master material is to explain it to
someone else. |
