The truth

We will work together to find problems

I believe that some of you learn more by doing than by listening

It is your job to detect and fix mistakes

Learn not to trust blindly what is said or written (even in books,

magazines) Learning should be fun and easy, I will do my best to make it so

But it takes a lot of work to make complex things easy to learn

I need your constant feedback and suggestions

You cannot afford to waste long hours on silly work

Plan your projects in details and go for the simple and easy

solution

We have a lot of flexibility in what we study and how

You are welcome to question make suggestions
