I am available by email or before class 3 - 4pm let me know in advance. • This course is enhanced by Supplemental Learning {SL}. SL classes are supported by small group sessions led by Supplemental Learning Leaders (former students) who are selected because they demonstrate effective study habits and passed the course with a high grade. These study sessions are regularly scheduled, casual sessions in which students from your class compare notes, discuss assignments, and develop organizational tools and study skills. Students who participate in these sessions make better grades in the course. • Visit the SPA in building 4.
