Relationship to lectures

The lectures will mostly cover the material in this mini-textbook, just in a different manner. In lectures we will have more interaction and experiences regarding attention and distraction.

In more detail, lectures:

  • Go over the same concepts but with different examples and wording
  • Thanks to the mini-text, can address issues without worrying I’ll run out of time
  • Show demos
  • Quiz you, solicit personal experiences
