Hi there photoread4me,
Again thank you for the time and advice you have given me.
The way the book is structured is that each section within a chapter is in 'paired pages' format, that is, the detailed description of the section is on the left hand page and this gives the concepts and ideas for that section. On the right side, this gives a synopsis of the details and a various coding examples in C# that support the description section.
An example of a Section is "Working with Data". The trigger words I have pulled out are: Convert Data Type, String to Decimal, Boolean, Assignment and Operators.
I then ask myself questions about what these concepts mean and how do you apply this to writing programmes in C#. My sub-goal for each section is to really understand and be able to apply the knowledge I have gained and be able to use this to write a C# program for the exercise section at the end of a chapter.
The book is organised into chapters with subtopics for each chapter. For example there are 8 ‘paired page’ sections within a chapter. So going by your advice:
“Your activation session for the chapter should be 20 minutes for superread and dip or skittering (your choice) and 10 minutes for your mindmap.The total maximum time for the activation session should be 30 minutes. 5 minute breaks at the end of the activation session are crucial.”
I should not be working on a section at a time; I should be working on a chapter at a time?
Once again, thank you for your fantastic insight and advice.
Regards
