HOW TO PASS THIS COURSE

• want to learn a skill (this is about being a craftsman and having the background knowledge)
• ask questions (drop by at office hours) (don't wait until you are lost!)
• take notes (details are particularly important)
• bring a laptop and work along (Yes, I am serious)
• don't miss an assignment (again, very very very important)
• play
• I am not taking attendance (this is a very linear class, miss something and you will struggle to catch up)
• Take advantage of all the help resources available to you. I want everyone to succeed.
