2. Parsing Assignments#

2.1. Reviewing class materials#

Talk at your table about the following questions:

  • What from UCS 160 could help you with this?

  • What does it mean to review class material?

  • How could you tell if you have done a good job reviewing?

My advice:

  • Read over your notes (the jupyter notebook) and any materials (the prismia chat)

  • fill in more explanation and notes

  • make a list of key vocabulary

  • make a list of questions if you realize you do not understand something when you look back at it

2.2. Practice#

What do you think you shoud expect in practice exercises? What does that mean?

My tips:

  • Practice should be applying the content that you have already seen in class.

  • If something seems completely random and off topic, you might have misunderstood the assignment, ask for help asap.

this means you need to read assignments early and make sure you understand

2.3. Preview#

What is the goal of doing work before class? What might be different about work you do to prepare than what you do to review or practice?

Advice:

  • When previewing or preparing, if you have questions, write them down and bring them to class instead of getting help asap.

  • Try to connect the new ideas to what you understand from the past class

  • See if the new material helps clarify any of your existing questions
