SUGGESTIONS FOR SUCCESS
This course will demand your focus during individual work time, attention to detail, and ability to
finish work on time. In order to succeed you should follow these instructor suggestions:
-
Use limited work time in class wisely. If your project benchmarks are not on schedule, you must
spend time outside class. See instructor to schedule lab time.
You may ask other students for assistance. Seek out opportunities to assist classmates.
Use knowledge you have gained in courses in other subjects (Math, Science).
Ask questions. Give feedback.
Attend every class!
