I'm also attending an extra lecture because the professor teaches rather well but I suppose I should stop attending because I DO want to be able to read the extra books and have time to question some fundamentals, research the history behind the topic and try to work it out myself instead of having someone feed to me. Would that be wise? I hope so. Could you perhaps write up an entry about some of your favorite books particularly for nanotechnology or courses that you feel are important to take to understand nanotechnology? Thanks a lot in advance!
