I heard since then that they were planing on having a teacher, so that should help things.<BR/><BR/>Part of the reason it got tough is that it was self-paced, so your brain wanted to prioritize it below your other classes, which made the end of the semester hard. Plus, the units got harder and more complex as you went along. With a teacher, they'd probably be more palatable and be better paced. Also, in the self-paced form we had to get 100% on the tests we took for each unit or else we had to do tedious homework before taking another version of the test for that unit, and had to keep going until we got 100% or failed like 5 times in a row.<BR/><BR/>My main advice in either format of the course is to stay ahead of the curve so you can ask questions earlier. If self-paced, breeze through the initial units as fast as humanly possible, and try to not to fall behind.<BR/><BR/>I don't really have any notes since I just learned from the book, but I probably would've burned them if I did =P<BR/><BR/>EltonEltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01892346064741622632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9793210.post-1012701704339908262009-01-21T10:53:00.000-08:002009-01-21T10:53:00.000-08:00Hey Elton,I am taking a course curiously similar t...Hey Elton,<BR/><BR/>I am taking a course curiously similar to your referenced EE316 from a couple of years ago.
