One thing you should insist upon is for students to do the examples
'interactively.' COver the solution and try to do the problem as if it were a
test question. THen if the student gets REALLY stuck, he can slide the covering
sheet down to the spot at which he's stuck, and continue to work.
too many students ( I was certianly one!) just look at the examples,
and say to themselves, 'yeah, ok i see that.' that's really
pretty useless.
