11. How you can do well in this course
You should spend at least 3 hours on prelectures and homework for every lecture!
MAKE A GOOD EFFORT ON THE ONLINE ACTIVITIES. The last CheckPoint question is optional and is called “Lecture Thoughts.” I will study these before class and adjust the lecture accordingly.
PARTICIPATE IN LECTURE. You will learn more (and have more fun) from an active setting in which you participate with the instructor and your peers to probe your understanding of the fundamental principles.
3. DO THE HOMEWORK THE RIGHT WAY!!! To truly understand physics you must practice solving problems. Work on the homework on your own as far as possible. Then go to your discussion section, to learn techniques on how to solve problems and ask for hints that will help you finish your assignment. If you still need help, go to the help lab. Peer instruction is very much encouraged.
