Jaimie's Helpful Hints

Here's a few hints that I have found insanely helpful when I was taking this class.

• Always take notes - Notes will help when you are crunched on time and need to get something done or you can't remember where to find something in MAYA. These will be your life saver come the night before your project is due. (And take GOOD notes... even if you think you'll remember something write it down anyways... you never know what you may forget.)
• Have questions ready when class starts. It's much easier to have them ready at that time because we can then help you work through them and therefore prevent stress and hatred towards MAYA outside of class.
• Work on your project as homework, get ahead of your project. The last few processes can take much more time than planned so PLEASE plan ahead and stay on top of it all.
  
• Try not to get behind, if you are not understanding something and feel like we're going ahead to quickly please tell us. We might be able to slow down or work with you on that particular area.
  
• Watch the suggested tutorials and if you have a questions and we're not able to help right then and there please look for it online for the answer. (online materials are wonderful!)

Like I said all of the above saved me with my projects. You all have it lucky, once when I took this class the professor could only come once a week and we nearly had to do everything on our own so please take advantage of class time (staying til 7).
