A few additional notes

Example of a typical week

• (^) Monday :
  • Lecture in morning
  • Review content at night (vocally and/or summarize in written word). Alone or with friends.
• (^) Wednesday
  • (^) Lecture in morning
  • (^) Review content at night (vocally and/or summarize in written word) for Monday and Wednesday
• (^) Friday
  • Lecture in morning
  • Review content at night (vocally and/or summarize in written word) for all three lectures.
  • Note – by the time you get to Friday, you should have already reviewed Monday’s content three times and it shouldn’t take you long to breeze through it!
• (^) Saturday/Sunday – allocate about an hour to go through your summaries of the week
• (^) Since exams are every three weeks, it’s easy to forget the material from week 1 during exam week when you finally sit down to study, thus, maintaining a consistent study schedule will not only enhance your grade for the semester, but it will make your exam week less stressful since you already put the work in already!

Expectations

• (^) For every 50-minute lecture, it’s expected that you spend about 2-3 hours taking

your own notes and going through the material to fully understand it

• (^) Do not expect to sit in a 50-minute class and understand everything
• (^) Use your textbook for a further/deeper understanding of content and ask questions!
• (^) YOU earn your grade for the semester. I can’t bump you up because you are in

between grades and the higher grade will look better for professional school.

• (^) Answer questions in class – everyone has a voice, and your voice should be heard!
• (^) Come to class with a willingness and eagerness to learn.
• (^) Let’s never forget the inherent difficulty with online learning and we should cherish

the time we have together in a proper classroom setting

• (^) Most importantly – I want you to learn. I want you take this information with you

and use it as a foundation for further study, you will be informed with knowledge to

positively impact not only yourself, but others around you.
