| 1. If you have problems with keeping up with the assigned reading, you should contact your TA. | Reading literature is a core of the class. Learning how to manage and prioritize your activities in the class and beyond is important skill to learn in the college. | Your TA |
| 2. If you feel that although you are able to keep up, you are overwhelmed with the assigned reading, please, contact your TA and/or the Instructor. | It is important to find a zone of comfort in learning. This may require you to adjust the way you organize your activities, to make special arrangements, and/or to adjust the course assignments. | Your TA, Instructor |
