1. 1 Before we start… Zakład Wytrzymałości Materiałów: http://limba.wil.pk.edu.pl Remarks on mutual understanding 1.There should be not a linguistic barrier: just say the way you can and try to get into the essence of the matter 2.Do not hesitate to repeat your question so many times you will be satisfied with the answer. In a limit case try another language (Polish, Russian, French…) 3.Your question: „I do not understand” will be all round accepted 4.Ask for a break if you feel tired 5.Do not make notes on lectures; all material you see will be available online 6.Follow instructions of lecturers regarding home study
