Helpful Tools
Let’s go back and revisit course request for a minute. I did some math this morning and realized about 100 of you avoided me; in that you did not come and see me during course request. Not a good idea. Here’s why … imagine you avoid me during your sophomore year then decide to stop in during your junior year. It is at this time, I point out that you missed/overlooked/avoided a class that is a prerequisite of a prerequisite (and so on) for a senior class. Now, here you are in your junior year and you are not going to be a graduating senior next year. (True story.)

It would be an unfortunate turn of events to find yourself behind the 8 ball because you didn’t take advantage of your academic adviser. I am an invaluable resource that you need to use. If you did not come and see me during course request, please make it a priority to see me soon.
