Tips

   1. Try to find other students to work with. When doing your problem sets, try working through problems on your own first, then try to help each other out. Educational research consistently shows that students working together learn better than students working alone.

    2. I invite and encourage you to come see me outside of class. No appointment is necessary to visit me in my office during regular office hours. If you wish to meet with me at other times, just call me (at 2750) or check with me at class time to set up an appointment.
