Preparing for Class Meetings

Besides attending classes religiously and on time, another good practice is to read the textbook and review notes from the last meeting before the class. We regularly ask students how that practice benefits them. These are the benefits they told us  

The lecture is much easier to follow, because they already have an idea on what to expect, although only vaguely. 

It is easier to interact with the instructor by asking questions that have emerged from pre-class reading. 

It is much easier to remember the subject material because the lecture reinforces the pre-class reading. 

It takes only a fraction of the time of the meeting to prepare for the meeting.
