 Academic Integrity:

It is your responsibility to do your work and get help when you need it. There will be times to work together, but the burden of understanding the concepts is on each individual which means you must  continue to ask questions if you don’t understand. Please take your education seriously.

 Suggestions for study skills:

The best way to study for math is to work the daily assigned problems and check them as you go. If you get it wrong rework it carefully considering each step in the process. Use your notes and sample problems from the text to guide you. If you are struggling, consider your options for extra help.  I also encourage you to work as a group on your homework, if possible. Group work encourages interaction, which in turn makes your learning more active, thereby engaging your brain in a way that creates connections and improves memory. In addition, it is more efficient to work through problems with others contributing ideas, than to muddle through on your own! Be responsible with this option (see Academic Integrity).
