Agreed with all points. Don't hold the clutch at the biting point, unless you are just trying to get to know it and the throttle relationship on release. Get to know it, and then quit doing that. When downshifting, bump the throttle before engaging to lower gear. Learn good car control by always being in gear unless stopping ie: don't coast through a turn - instead be in gear, usually second, as you enter into the turn. If you find yourself holding the clutch in for a period of time ie: stopping, turning - quit doing that too. Take notice of it and then decide your better behavior which might be engaging to a lower gear or moving to neutral - whatever gets you to let the clutch out. As also noted, smoothness comes with getting to know how much throttle to add as you engage the clutch. Be quick and smooth. Being too slow to let it out can make your transition jumpy.

Have fun!
