1
00:00:00,690 --> 00:00:05,850
I'd like to say a few things that I believe will help you get in the right state of mind so that the

2
00:00:05,850 --> 00:00:09,750
time that you spent on this course is both effective and enjoyable.

3
00:00:12,620 --> 00:00:19,280
Learning anything worthwhile takes time to plan for your learning and set time aside for this specific

4
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:25,490
activity in your busy schedule, without dedicated time, you'll feel that you have to rush your way

5
00:00:25,490 --> 00:00:28,990
through the lectures, making the experience stressful.

6
00:00:30,010 --> 00:00:36,300
Learning and the stress is not an effective way to learn, on the contrary, without planning to learn,

7
00:00:36,310 --> 00:00:37,460
you will not learn.

8
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,020
So be in control of your learning through planning.

9
00:00:41,890 --> 00:00:46,240
I suggest that you plan to complete one section in one sitting.

10
00:00:47,380 --> 00:00:53,590
For most sections, you'll be able to comfortably complete them within one hour, of course, if you

11
00:00:53,590 --> 00:00:58,600
have more time, consider scheduling enough time to complete more than one sections.

12
00:00:59,580 --> 00:01:06,240
I find that I learn best when I can dedicate big, uninterrupted blocks of time to a project, and I

13
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,270
believe that this is true for most people.

14
00:01:09,370 --> 00:01:15,010
That's because big, uninterrupted blocks of time also reduce the overall duration of the project,

15
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:22,570
because they allow you to reduce the amount of time needed to change your mental context from whatever

16
00:01:22,570 --> 00:01:29,800
you happen to be doing to the context of the project or the course it goes without saying, but I'll

17
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:30,730
say it anyway.

18
00:01:31,060 --> 00:01:32,610
Plan will to learn.

19
00:01:32,620 --> 00:01:33,040
Will.

20
00:01:36,690 --> 00:01:43,380
Each lecture has one or two, but no more than two learning outcomes and usually an equal number of

21
00:01:43,380 --> 00:01:44,520
practical outcomes.

22
00:01:45,450 --> 00:01:52,350
Do not proceed to the next lecture until we have succeeded in both understanding the learning outcomes

23
00:01:52,350 --> 00:01:57,370
of the current lecture and achieving the practical outcomes of the lecture.

24
00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:03,810
If you proceed without completing the learning and practical outcomes of a lecture, you'll be hit with

25
00:02:03,810 --> 00:02:07,950
an obstacle later and you have to come back and try again.

26
00:02:09,050 --> 00:02:15,020
Of course, it's OK to peek ahead, but be mindful that previous lectures will need to be completed

27
00:02:15,020 --> 00:02:15,590
first.

28
00:02:18,380 --> 00:02:24,650
OK, that's it with the introductory set of lectures, it's now time for you to roll up your sleeves

29
00:02:24,830 --> 00:02:26,180
and start making.

30
00:02:26,910 --> 00:02:27,470
Are you ready?

31
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,470
Please continue with the next section and lecture when you.
