Summer B students get ready

If you are wondering what to do to get ready for Summer B PSC1121, here are a few tips:
  1. If you get the textbook, you can start reading forward from chapter 2 to chapters 3, 4, 5 and 6, then 8.
  2. I always tell the students to first view the photos and diagrams, with their captions, just to get a feel for the concepts.
  3. Then you can start reading the text relative to any of the diagrams or photos that catch your fancy.
  4. Also, read chapter 24 on water. It is always my informal target chapter, in that the early chapters 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 will make the concepts in ch. 24 a lot more understandable.

If you can do some skimming of those chapters prior to Summer B, you will be able to crank on the other mini-quizzes and study outlines that become available in Webcourses when Summer B starts on June 25.
