Learning Resources and How-To Guides
(Mathematics and Computer Science)

General Guidelines for:

• Success in Mathematics, by Dept. of Math and CS, Saint Louis Univ.

• Effective Group Work by Ann Brown, Dept. of Math and CS, Indiana Univ., South Bend

• Test Taking and Improving Your Test Results by Richard M. Felder, North Carolina State University

Something to think about:

• The Art of Listening, by Brenda Ueland (link by Ann Brown)

• How to Succeed in Dr. Belogay's Calculus, advice from former HC Calculus students. At the end of one my previous Honors Calculus 2 courses, I asked my students to reflect on their experience in the course and to provide words of wisdom to students who are about to take Calculus. I collected their (unedited) answers and removed any personal information.
