Awesome

Since Doctor Pishko is the only instructor for this course. I'll give you a suggestion on how to do it. Go to the help desk for your laboratory reports since they are very helpful. Focus on the big, obvious picture when studying for the pre-laboratory quiz. Do the practice exam questions and practice the questions on the lab report, then you'll do fine on the exam. She's also available outside of the classroom too.
