Reading math material

Greetings from math online tutor,
Read the
relevant part _before_ each lecture, rather than hearing it for the
first time in the lecture.

This _sounds_ like a lot of extra work, but it's not. Suppose you
have lectures A, B, and C that cover reading material a, b, and c.
Most students would do this:

Listen to A; read a; listen to B; read b; listen to C; read c.

I'm suggesting that you do this instead:

Read a; listen to A; read b; listen to B; read c; listen to C.

As you can see, it's the same amount of work. Only the order is
different. And the reason the order is so crucial is the one I've
already mentioned: If you don't understand something in the reading
material, you can ask about it in the lecture where the material is
covered, which is no extra trouble for the teacher. online math forum;
But if you try to ask a question about yesterday's material in today's lecture, the
teacher will be impatient to move on, and it's likely that you won't
get the answer you need, if you get one at all. View more on math forum.
