If the lecture slide notes are available beforehand, you can skim through them and you may want to print them out to take with you. Check the Course Book (if available): This will contains details and resources about the lecture. Check the learning objectives: These give valuable pointers to listen out for during the lecture. You probably don't want to read these in depth before the lecture, but it can be useful to skim and scan at least some beforehand if you have time. The aim is to get a feel for the subject matter and familiarise yourself a little with the topic. This article was published on 2024-09-02
