Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review
To solve equations and think about mathematical backgrounds by yourself is vitally important. This is the first step to really understand physics and mathematics. Otherwise, you will not be able to take advantage of  the lecture contents in your next studies and researches.  I strongly recommend you to perform exercises.   
Requirements  
Grading Method reports (~30-40%), and final examination (~60-70%)
 
Practical Experience  
Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it
