Overview

Over the past two years, the Board of SASS has been working on a course tips project to provide additional course information to the student body. The mission of this project is:

1. To provide all students with expanded information about course formats and topics (e.g., whether there are exams or projects) so that students can make informed course selection decisions

2. To assist students with the courses they are currently taking by providing study tips and other course-specific strategies for success 

​​

To create this information, we typically speak with teachers, peer tutors, and/or teaching assistants. If you're a teacher, peer tutor, or TA who would like to help out, or if you are any member of the student body who would like course tips to be created for a particular course, please contact us.
