16
Attending the course
• Learning by attending the course is more effective than learning through the pages of the book – for several reasons.
• If you decide to follow the course
– notes are crucial: so, if you skip a lecture, ask for notes from your collegues
– flexibility on course schedule is requested
– you can’t forget that your written group work has a precise deadline
– the teacher will not intervene with the dynamics of the group – developing an integration capability is part of the learning experience.
