Special Events

Attendance at the events listed on this page is not part of your course, but all interest me and strike me as potentially interesting to students in many of the classes that I teach. Since I teach courses on a range of things, not all of the events on this page are necessarily relevant to the course you may be taking.

A midterm exam is an excellent chance to find out how efficiently you have been studying, and, of course, to demonstrate brilliance and perspicacity. The best preparation strategy is obviously to study efficiently, then relax and let the brilliance and perspicacity shine through all by themselves. ☺
