9. Evaluation: Quiz 5% Randomly held during lectures (normally towards the end) or tutorials Questions based on contents of that particular lecture

10. Hints on how to get good grades : • Come to lectures (with some preparation) • Ask questions in class if you don’t understand • Solve as many problems as you can • Come and see me if you have problems • Do your homework on time • Always prepare for quizzes • Sit for your tests and exams • Minimize memorizing, maximize understanding

11. Secondary School/Matriculation to University transitions Secondary school /Matriculation University Read books  do problems  answers are in the books - memorizing Read and understand the concepts apply the concepts to new problems – its not just memorizing Don’t expect to understand the lectures in real-time  review lecture notes within 24 – take notes – understand the previous lectures before attending the new ones – be an active listener Understand the lectures in real-time – review is in the form of doing exercises and getting the correct answers Classes are normally small – Teacher memorized students’ names – teacher taught and you listened Larger classes – need to pay more attention – get involve in discussion – don’t make your own conclusion, ask the lecturers

12. Secondary School/Matriculation to University transitions Secondary school /Matriculation University 5 days a week – 6 hours a day, a total of 30 hours per week. Homework 1.5 hours per day = 7.5 hours per week. Total commitment required = 37.5 hours per week . Somebody will monitor your time management. 14 credits. This require 14 x 3 = 42 hours per week outside class. Total commitment required = 56 hours per week . Nobody will force you to study; you have to manage your time. You are in control of your own learning.
