Dear all concerned!!!

    For your information to you on this topic I have MY suggestions.
    Start early as possible, about 8:00 a.m. learn till 10:00 coffee
    break and talk academics. Back again till noon. Nothing later, get
    out of the shop totally, no 'lunching-in'. Teach and demo till the
    3:00 break...stop and hands-on after that, BUT finish totally at
    6:00 or 5:30...no late evening sessions. Get MY drift? No 12 hour
    shifts. At home re-write all of your notes, that's still learning
    though. If you go for dinner, talk academics after the food. Get your
    mind off of the learning if you can! Remember that 30% of what you
    learned in the day will most definitely be 'lost' in a few hours or
    days...make notes while you are listening. Draw diagrams for easy
    retrieval. As for setting this is one of the hardest things to learn
    and remember. Another thing to think of is that right after big lunch
    (try to avoid this), you might get a bit sleepy. So if this happens,
    get up and grab a strong coffee..:>) These are my special
    instructions for all and also to my students everywhere ! BTW at the
    second day you will be MORE refreshed and then the topics will be
    sinking in better...but make tons of notes I had one student in my
    setting class in school, she used to make her notes in Mandarin. She
    really learned well..Gerry!
