__NOTOC__ | |||
This course is being organized into logical blocks. Each block corresponds approximately to 3 hours of lecture and 3 hours of lab. In many settings, this is approximately 1 week worth of study, but it can be expanded or contracted to meet other needs. | This course is being organized into logical blocks.

The course will be predominantly hands-on. Much of the learning will be done in the laboratory setting. In some blocks, the lecture material will be relatively light, and it will be suggested that the instructor cut the lecture short to devote additional time to lab work. | |||
== Textbook == | |||
The textbook for the course will be the [[Wikibooks:PBASIC Programming|PBASIC Programming]] textbook on Wikibooks. Other free wikibooks, such as those on electric circuits or robotics may also be used. | |||

== Learning Aides == | |||
Two types of learning aides are provided: Printed handouts, and visual aides. | |||
Printed handouts, or more simply "printouts", are pages that can be printed and handed to the students for their own use. These sheets contain the days date, a space for the student's name, and a series of notes designed to fit on an 8 × 11 sheet of paper. Lab assignments and homework assignments will not be provided via handouts. Quizzes and Tests will be provided as printouts. | |||
Visual aides are simple visual helper objects that can be used by the instructor during lecture. These aides are formatted to be used as a slide in a slide presentation (such as MS powerpoint), on a transparency projector, or as a diagram reproduced on the chalk board. | |||
