+Learning in this course is achieved through a number of components and your success depends on how you utilize them. At a minimum, we expect you to follow the schedule outlined below on a weekly basis starting from the very first week:
+  * Attend the lecture
+  * Review the material covered in lecture; in particular, create, compile, run, and test all programs and explore modifying them.
+  * Do the assigned readings of the week (as indicated in the //Calendar//) and make sure you fully understand the concepts. One way to do that is to explain them to someone else.
+  * Do the programming exercise (PEx) linked to from the //Calendar//. Test your programs thoroughly.
+  * If you have problems with the concepts and/or the PEx, use the //Forum// to discuss the problem with others.
+  * Go to your lab session and discuss any pending issue with your TA. It is important that your PEx solution is not only correct (relative to specification) but also compliant with S/E principles including coding style.
+  * When you feel that PEx solution is 100% complete, submit it so that you can use it during labtests.
+  * You are also encouraged to do a few end-of-chapter exercises and to answer questions posed by others on our //Forum//. Doing so sharpens your ability to make a point or critique one.
