Tips to Do Well​

  • Review the lecture material regularly. Since some topics are interconnected, going over them weekly helps prevent confusion when starting new chapters.
  • Don’t just stick to the tutorial questions. Search online for extra exercises on examinable topics. Tutorial questions tend to be simpler, while quizzes often feature more complex and time-consuming problems.
