 How to improve your performance?

• Whenever a question is asked in the class, try to answer even if you don’t know the
answer.

• Only getting the correct answer for a problem will not give you the full marks. The
approach also matters.

• Conceptually correct answer will be considered for some marks, even if your
solution does not match the final answer. So, you should try to answer each
question.

• Always try to learn and use the concept of this subject whenever you try to solve a
problem or answer a question.

• In the end of the course, you should have at least one question for which there is
no answer.

 Learning Technique
▪ Ask yourself the question: What have you learned after reading a particular topic or
paragraph or watching the video lecture?
▪ Second question you should ask yourself: Have you understood it correctly? Read
again…! Watch the video again….!
▪ If possible, read a textbook fully, don’t miss any topic. Read other books to verify
your understanding of the concept.
▪ Remember: your class mates are your best tutor sometimes.
▪ Be open minded and attentive while listening the video lectures.
▪ Complete daily class material and homework
▪ Work hard and be honest with your responsibilities.
▪ Everyday you need to know:
➢ What new have you learned?
➢ What was difficult to understand?
▪ Everyday you should try to prepare a question based on the lecture content.
▪ If you can not solve an assignment problem, share the problem with your friends and
discuss for solution. If no one can solve the problem share it with the TAs and me.

Remember: Ultimately no one ask you in real life who taught

you the course. You will be held responsible and evaluated.
