Learning Assistants Victoria Wood and Kara Pebley will run (almost) weekly workshops during the semester. They will review and go into greater depth on some of the important topics from the course. These workshops are optional, but I strongly encourage you to attend. Most weeks there will be two identical sessions per week, 6-7 pm on Sunday and 7-8 pm on Monday in Campbell 228. For each week that you attend, you will get one point on the next exam (bringing your grade up to a maximum of 100). To get the extra credit, you must send me an email pledging that you attended the workshop the entire time.
