I know from experience teaching this course some of you are about to make a terrible mistake.
Its one that I warned you about earlier in this course and I'll warn you again. If you
didn't hear me then, hear me now. Think about how things are going for you so far in this
course.
When you work the example we are about to do put absolutely every single thing on paper,
in order, and label absolutely every single thing and how you got it. Skip nothing, leave
nothing unlabeled.
First of all we are going to rework the example we are about to start several times you will
be so glad that you put it in detail because when you have to rework it, it is mostly done
but only if you put it in detail. You will not be going back and easily remembering this
stuff. So, use really good notes as an aide here
Second, you know what happens on my exams now. You are going to be asked eventually
to do an essay where you do a checklist of all the steps that are involved in this kind
of a "T" test. You will be expected to have the steps in order, to have no steps that
don't belong, it has to be complete and if I followed those instructions to the letter
I would need to be able to get the right, correct result.
If you take really good notes here saying how you got everything that essay becomes
so easy to write. You try and do stuff from memory; sorry it's not going to work. It's
more than you can hold in your memory as you are learning this.
Write everything right now on a page, skip nothing, label everything, you will be glad
you did.
