● Because of the technical nature of this course and exam I highly recommend
doing the course in small strides. You DO NOT have to force yourself to sit
through the entire course in 2 days.
● This course is meant to provide guidance and highlight what is really
important, I still recommend reading your textbook and studying diagrams
from the book.
● TAKE NOTES. Take notes, although most important information is on the
slides provided below, take your own notes as it will help you retain
information.
