I will make every attempt to hand out lecture notes to you before each class to relieve you of some of the mechanical burden of note-taking and leave you free to think and question as we go.
I will frequently interrupt the lecture and associated demonstrations with ``concept'' questions. I ask you to please pick up an answer recording sheet before class to (anonymously if you wish) record your initial guesses, final answers and any comments or questions you may have on the problems.
The back of these sheets is a feedback space, where you can (again, anonymously if you wish) ask questions you didn't want to or have time to ask in class and give me feedback about any aspect of the course if you wish.
Each lecture after the first will start with a question time, where I will answer questions from the feedback sheets, e-mail, one-on-one conversations and in-class questions that you may have based on material from the previous lecture. (n.b., if you wish to ask a question that you do not want me to share as an example in class lecture for whatever reason, I ask you to please indicate this to me explicitly.)
You should feel free to also interrupt lecture with questions. I will try to answer as many as I can in our allotted time.
Announcements, such as schedule changes or other news germane to the course, will be made in lectures. (Schedule changes relevant to laboratories or workshops may be made in, laboratories or workshops themselves.) Although I will attempt to keep current news on the course web page as well, once an announcement is made in one of these locations, it is your responsibility to know and understand these announcements.
