When do I get my grades?

We will try to get the exam grade to you in our last class session. You will be informed of your final grades by the registrar. I will not respond to email inquiries about your grades.

How to study?

The very best way to improve is to learn from your mistakes. My assistant, has your old exams in her office. I suggest visiting her in her office hours (see electronic syllabus). Once you determined pattern in your mistakes, we can start troubleshooting.

If the problem is content specific, consider the following study guide:

Prepare: organize your study plan. Consider deadlines and exam dates.
Eat: read the relevant chapters in the textbook before coming to class.
Digest: use the class for asking questions you had about the reading.
Ruminate: take your class notes and/or my Internet postings to go though the assigned readings. Take my lecture to guide you in your self-learning process.

If you have a specific question, please come by in my office hours.It is important that you are considered about your performance. Studying is to a large part working on your improvement process.

I hope I can help.
