9:25 fully agree with 1 and 2 but 3 is hard...For the first read skip the examples completely, but the second time, do all the examples yourself without the help of the book, only use the book if you get stuck. See if your methodolgy working the examples is similiar to that used in the book. Lastly I would add, do all the problens at the back of the chapter, at least try them all. It's amazing what hard work can do! Graduated with 3.83, 19 in a class of 750. Not bad for a kid that barely got through high school.
