Finally, if you are having trouble with learning and understanding the material, labs, test taking, etc., please don't wait until close to the end of the semester to see me. I have office hours for answering questions and going over material you may be having trouble understanding. If you can't make my regular office hours, call or e-mail me to set up a time that will work for both of us to meet.
