The student must keep in mind that he must do a very important self-learning task, following the scheme: Reading, listening, understanding, asking, studying and practicing. 

Read: Read the topic to be discussed before attending the theoretical sessions. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!

Attend: Attend in class, don't just be present.

Understand: Understand what you are told in the theory sessions, and if you don't ask.

Ask: Ask everything you don't understand, don't be in doubt.

Study: Study after the sessions, to retain your understanding.

Practice: Make many programs, those that are asked, suggested, and others on your own, both on paper and on the computer.

Programming is a subject that cannot be learned by studying in two days. The student must mature the concepts, make on paper and in the machine many programs, learning also from the errors when making them. 

It is a subject that, by means of the system of continuous evaluation, can be approved without more than following, in an active way, the rhythm of the different theoretical and practical sessions. You should pay attention to the particular indications of study reinforcement that the teacher may give you.
