How to Use the On-line Content
The suggested approach for learning the material in each subject area
is
- Begin by reading the
associated chapter in your textbook. Do this well
before the subject is discussed in class.
Jot down any questions you have, and ask them in class. This is a
good time to begin your iLrn homework. These problems closely
resemble Example/Exercise pairs that appear in your textbook, so you
should work on these while you are reading the textbook.
-
Tip: work the WebHW problems after you have completed the
iLrn assignment.
Keep careful
notes in your Homework Solutions Manual for all problems you
attempt.
Do's and Don'ts
- Don't spend enormous amounts of time spinning your wheels
on any one homework problem. Every single
homework problem can be worked in just a few minutes if you know what you
are doing.
- Don't try "shotgun" approaches, or try to guess
the answer to avoid working the problem. If you get the
correct answer but don't understand why the answer is correct,
stop by for an office visit.
- Do keep a detailed HW Solutions Manual. This
will provide your best source of study materials just before a
quiz or exam.
- Do stop by for an office visit if you are stuck, but be
sure to bring your HW Solutions Manual with you. I
can usually spot a mistake very quickly by looking at your
work. I absolutely will not work a problem for you unless
I can see what you have already done.
- Do stop by for an office visit if you just can't get
started on a problem. In this case, I will get you oriented
so you can solve the problem on your own.
