- Advising & Counseling
Advising
Please continue to use my Calendly link to make, reschedule, or cancel advising appointments. You can also email me to find an alternate appointment time if you have conflicts during these openings.
Instead of meeting in person, I will email you a BlueJeans meeting invitation on the day of your appointment. Alternatively, you can email me a phone number to call you if you will not have access to a computer. As always, please proactively cancel and reschedule your meeting if you have a conflict with the time you originally selected.
- How to be successful with this new teaching pedagogy
- Reflect on how you might need to adapt the strategies that have helped you become successful at UM. It might seem basic, but please think how you use your time, learn lecture material, and review for exams. We strongly encourage you to ask faculty for help when needed.
- Success this semester will require some extra discipline on your part to stay on top of your coursework and you probably should put together a calendar for yourselves to keep up with the material.
- Matt Holliday will be holding advising appointments for the duration of the semester and you are encouraged to meet with him during this semester.
