Advice for MusApp

I had someone ask what to do because they are feeling lost. Here is my advice to them:

1. Make sure you're signed up on the blog - http://maconstate.blogspot.com - add your email address on the signup sheet.
2. Dive into WebCT/Vista for the class. The powerpoints I use in class are posted there (at the moment, they are last year's versions, but they will be about 95% identical to what I'm using this year).
3. Listen to the tracks on the CDs WHILE READING THE LISTENING GUIDES.
4. Read AHEAD of what I'm going to cover in class. Check the syllabus for the schedule - I stay decently close to it. There's is a pdf copy on WebCT/Visa, and a web-page-version on the blog.
5. Ask questions - either via email or in class - when something doesn't make sense!
6. DON'T PANIC!
