Brandon has very generously
scheduled a 2 hour review session on Reading Day, this Thursday, the
24th, from 1-3pm. He is planning on using the regular meeting
room, 239 SCIC, but since we cannot reserve rooms during the exam
period, the session may have to be moved. If you get there and
the room is full of strangers, call Brandon at 202-321-4045. Come
armed with your QUESTIONS!!!
Also, don't forget that you can always email me with questions; though
I won't be in the office much, I check email frequently from home.
And, don't forget to bring your SI evaluation forms on Wednesday, along
with your curiosity about the Far West.

ATTEND
SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTION SESSIONS FOR EXTRA HELP FROM
YOUR
SI LEADER - Brandon Mizroch. You can reach
Brandon at branmiz25@gmail.com
(preferred) or bjmizroc@edisto.cofc.edu
I strongly encourage you to attend SI
sessions regularly, right from the beginning of the semester.
These are peer-to-peer work sessions that will both sharpen your study
skills and deepen your understanding of the material. Brandon
took
my class last fall, and did an outstanding job. He spent a lot of
time in SI himself, and learned how to apply his knowledge to complex
exam questions. Brandon will have plenty of examples of the
application oriented questions that I use on exams. He will help
you learn how to work through these questions so that YOU TOO can
become successful!

STUDY
SKILLS SEMINARS at THE
CENTER FOR STUDENT LEARNING
I strongly encourage you to attend these seminars. Many students
have told me that they "thought they knew how to study" until they got
into my class. This class requires a great deal of critical,
analytical thinking and the application of knowledge to solve
problems. Straight memorization DOES NOT WORK! My students
have often told me that these seminars helped them prepare for this new
way of thinking and learning.
