It is a good idea to talk to fellow students and to observe what happens in the early classes. Assignments There will be assignments throughout the semester with set due dates. Lateness will often result in some kind of penalty, e.g. the assignment will receive a lower grade because it was late. These assignments throughout the semester may count for more of your course grade than will the final examination at the end of the semester. Most instructors prefer papers and projects to be typewritten.
Computers are available at many locations on campus for word processing.
Books Books are available in the Bookstore at the Memorial Union. To find out which books you must purchase for your course, check at the Bookstore information desk. There will be computer printouts of classes and a list of which books are required for each. Tests Tests may be in many forms. In smaller classes, there will often be essay exams.
