Week 7 (10/7-10/11) Test 3 takes place Wednesday-Friday this week at the CBTF. If you are feeling anxious as you prepare please consider checking out these resources for test anxiety [Resource 1][Resource 2]
If you are struggling with burnout or have fallen behind in the course in some way, please consider reaching out to the CARE Center to get connected with resources to help you take care of yourself and get back on track. You may also consider looking at the mental health resources link. It may be helpful to look at resources for studying and test taking from DGS and DRES.
If you are encountering difficulties with the math in this course, we encourage you to utilize online resources and office hours for assistance.
