General Advice

• Course design is Lecture -> Lab -> Exercises -> Follow-up study 
• A bit each day (or every other day) is superior to cramming
• Make sure you understand why you are doing what you are doing. Review for comprehension rather than speed
• It's OK to approach calculations mechanically, but it is not OK to approach interpretations mechanically
• Avoid short-cuts, as they tend to turn into long-cuts.
