A successful Math 201 students will:
1. Come prepared to every class lecture. Preparation should include reviewing notes from the previous section, and pre-reading the material to be covered in class.
2. Complete every homework assignment (whether collected or not!). This will likely require 8-12 hours outside of class every week.
3. Seek help as soon as you are having difficulty. Use office hours and peer study groups to improve your performance.
