Multi Engine Blog 1

From this multi engine ground school class I obviously want to get a good understanding of multi engine aircraft.  Beyond that I want the class to prepare me for the flight lab and for the multi engine check ride.  I think that by completing this class a should walk away with the knowledge I need to fly multi engine aircraft.  I expect to learn all of the rules and regulations that go along with multi engine and I expect to learn operating tips and practices for these aircraft. I want to learn about the systems that are specific to multi engine aircraft and about things that I should need to know about but have not yet thought of.
I want this class to be informative, engaging, interesting and interactive. I do not want a class where I sit and stare at a PowerPoint for two hours everyday.  I understand that PowerPoint will be used often however I do not want it to be the sole means of information because it is one of the least effective means of teaching available.  I would like it if the teacher placed a strong emphasis on getting the class involved in the course.
For blogging, I expect writing my thoughts regularly to reinforce what I am learning and to give me a place where I can collect my knowledge and review my ideas.  I want writing to make this class easier and to make my experience in this class better and more educational.
