The way I understand it, I'll make a 1040 starter, pitch yeast, put it on the stir plate and 24 hours later it'll be ready to pitch into my beer. Is this correct? Any tips or additional info I should know? Thanks in advance!
Foil over the top or foam stopper. The yeast will do better getting oxygen during the start of the starter fermentation process. You also only need a constant stirring, not a huge vortex in the wort.
You can pitch the whole starter at high krausen, some prefer this, or chill for a day and pour off the liquid on top and pitch only the slurry from the starter.
I've done both and all were good.
I have done starters for my last 7 brews and I believe I have gotten better beer.

Depends. What is the OG of the beer you are planning to make?
I need starter clarification...
