SCOTT GLENN'S TIPS
 
  1. Show up for class, especially on Fridays.  Below are the exam scores for the people that did show up for class compared to those that did not.
  2. Keep up with the readings. There is too much to wait until the end. Exams will cover the portions of the readings discussed in class.
  3. Use classroom notes/handouts and the Summary, Key Terms, and Study Questions sections at the end of each chapter to help decide what is important for exams. Then practice drawing diagrams like those in the book or discussed in class.
  4. If you have questions that you don't get a chance to ask in class, you can:
    (a) see me before or after class,
    (b) e-mail me (glenn@imcs.rutgers.edu) and specify MARINE SCIENCE CLASS as the subject of your e-mail,
    (c) call me for an appointment (732-932-6555 x544), or
    (d) stop by my office/lab (MCSB 111C/109) area. (If you cannot find me, ask someone in the office/lab area where I can be found.
  5. There is a University Policy on Academic Integrity described in the Undergraduate Catalog on pages 545-546.  Don't say I didn't tell you.
