[Biology-U-L] Unhappy with recent midterm grades and looking for help turning the quarter around?

[Biology Undergraduate List]

Unhappy with recent midterm grades and looking for help turning the 
quarter around?  There's still time to get help if you seek it now.

The first place to ask for help is from the Instructor and the TA for 
the course.  They know more about the course than anyone else and can 
review past exams with you to help you understand where you made 
errors.  They may even be able to suggest  how to focus your efforts for 
the next exam. Make and appointment to meet with them right away as the 
more time you give it the better the results will be.

In addition, other campus resources are available.  Here are links to 
the two offices that offer help with the most common problems:

    * Stress management (test anxiety) Counseling Services
