About Extrovert |
1.
Astronaut: A thorough, sequential presentation of notes. Systematic,
guided approach, with logical but often simplified presentations of the
material.
2.
Eagle: A birds-eye view of the entire subject matter through lists
and site-maps, freedom to pick precise items quickly.
3.
Barnstormer: Problem-solving based approach to subject matter. Web-based
"calculators", on-line computer programs and simulations, and data bases.
Trial-and-error expected.
4.
Rocket Scientist: Hyperlinked derivations of material will be presented
with a no-holds-barred usage of mathematics, and a rigorous graduate-school-level
presentation of theory.
