"Our course has no particular textbook. I will be using
many textbooks and you are expected to take good notes.
Use any textbook you can find to help you but count on
the notes taken. ..."
That was essentially the situation when I was a student.
We knew that missing classes was highly undesirable and
we learned by taking notes. Taking notes is not a purely
mechanical process of recording; one must constantly
think and decide what is worth writing down. In most
cases taking notes is a process of active participation.
The Internet can then be used to post homework problems
and to discuss the material. What is wrong with this?
