RECOMMENDED “OUT-OF-HOURS” PREPARATION

As mentioned near the end of the “Welcome” section, this is the reference list of preparatory tasks recommended for you to carry out between the different days of the course. I am not providing the full details here but rather referring you to the pages where you will find the relevant information. This will enable you to see the context in which the recommendations are made. The only necessary tasks that will take up any significant amount of time are those before Days 10 and 11 (these will get you much more ready and able to proceed with the Second Project) and, to a lesser extent, one to get you prepared for carrying out the Funnel Experiment on Day 3. All that remains are various small amounts of extra printing or (if convenient) enlarging.

Before Day 2. Just a reminder here that an ordinary basic calculator is likely to be useful to you on both Days 2 and 3.

Before Day 3. The more important task here is to prepare for the Funnel Experiment: see Day 2 pages 43–44 and Day 3 page 36. However, you may also find it useful to print a separate copy of Day 3 page 19 since the charts on that page are discussed in detail on the subsequent pages.

Before Day 6. For some extra pages of printing for your convenience during Day 6’s Major Activity, etc: see Day 5 page 28. On this page there is also a reminder to prepare for “your organisation” if you don’t belong to one (!).

Before Day 8. For some extra copies to aid you in Day 8’s Major Activity: see Day 7 page 36 and Day 8 page 3.

Before Day 9. For just a little extra printing, mostly to aid you in Day 9’s Major Activity: see Day 8 page 28.

Before Day 10. For details of your preparation for the Second Project: see Day 9 pages 26–30.

Before Day 11. For details of preparation for the second half of the Second Project: see Day 10 page 33.

Before Day 12. For a little equipment and one or more copies or enlargements: see Day 11 page 36.

Finally, if and when you decide to venture into the Optional Extras but without printing that file, there are just two pages in both Parts A and B which you will need to print out before studying those first two parts. They are pages 6 and 7 in Part A and pages 24 and 25 in Part B.
