As with most university courses, you need to devote two to four hours to Math 102 outside of class for each hour of class time. Seek help from the senior proctor in the classroom. This proctor can help you if your proctor is busy or can perhaps offer an alternative approach to a problem that you will find beneficial. Use the Help Room early in the quarter and often. The Help Room is not as busy early in the quarter, so you will receive more and quicker help from proctors.
Most students find it helpful to discuss problems with more than one proctor.
It is essential that you utilize the Help Room because there simply is not enough class time for the typical Math 102 student to complete the course, without working outside of class. Room Hours Take your tests at a time other than when your class meets. By taking your tests before class, after class, or on an off day, you maximize instructional time with your proctor. Testing Center Hours Take your test for each unit at least two or three days before the deadline. By doing so, you will have time to correct misunderstandings and the opportunity to take a test on that unit again.
