Students should attempt the practice assessment as many times as possible (10-25 times depending on assessment length)
-
Students should review any of the weeks material necessary to form better understandings of concepts covered in practice assessment and learning outcomes
-
Students will be responsible for any homework due Monday
-
One or more of the module TAs may make themselves available for 1-2 hours for extra review time (this is completely up to the availability of the TAs and is not guaranteed on any given week)
Be aware you can't use this on an assessment! Use this to help you study/practice! Also be aware this is not comprehensive and doesn't list all the methods we've learned so far! (Also apologizes my handwriting is not the best--but GALAXY pen!? Beautiful 🌌)
Be aware some extensions will override these shortcuts!
