Another interesting 	phenomenon is the “dumb question”, or more specifically, the 	lack of courage of good/above average students to ask the obvious 	dumb question. One more problem for the future is the inability and 	lack of guidance of an instructor by students while ensuring 	anonymity and low volume of questions.

			* Keep a notebook
			* Listen to a lecturer (which automatically limits the amount of material)
			* Retell everything yourself
			* Make a couple of TI-89 progs
			* Practice!
