Any tips for the junta to perform well in the course?

Along with proper understanding of the concepts, I felt that the course do require quite a bit of mugging. Given that everything is provided in the slides only, scoring is easy if you put the necessary effort (which I didn’t in my time if you look at my grade :P)
