Exams will often occur during busy times of the semester, when you have other exams, papers due, etc. Waiting to study material until just before an exam is like waiting to work out at the gym until just before an athletic event. Some of you may find that attending lectures and reading the text is all the support you need. Others will have problems with some of the material. There are several forms of support to help you with difficulties you may experience.
Different students have different ways of learning.
I urge you to experiment with the options listed, and find what best helps you. Office visits and E-mail. I, the instructor, am available for individual consultation regarding any aspect of the course. If you have unanswered questions or concerns, or are in serious academic trouble, see me after class, during office hours, or contact me by e-mail. Very few students who have come to see me with problems, and done so early in the semester, have fared poorly in this course.
