As a rule, a good lecture is a mix of stuff you know and stuff you didn't know.
If done well, the new stuff is tied to the old stuff in a manner which helps
you make the connection.
Sometimes there's slippage and you're suddenly listening to which might well
be a foreign language.
When this happens in this class, I encourage you to call out1 "MEGO",
which stands for my eyes glaze over.
This will be a signal to me that there's some kind of tie-in that I should have made, but didn't.
1 If you feel too silly saying this word,
you're welcome to just raise your hand and tell me
where I lost you.
You should realize that if you're confused,
others may be confused as well,
so your "interruption" will help us all.
