+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **Advice on how to approach P-Cubed**: Embrace the group aspect of the class, it truly is one of the best ways to learn. Also, use your resources (like the LA's, help room, piazza, etc.)! | ||

+ | **What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class?**: Help Room is such a chill environment to discuss concepts you’re struggling with or even to just sit and do your LON-CAPA work. Make sure to get all your group members’ contacts! They were always my go-to, even prior group members. You will have a day or two where you didn't take notes beforehand, so you get overwhelmed during class. No worries, just be honest with your groupmates (they will be understanding) and come to the help room while the problem is still fresh in your mind. Talking about it makes all the difference. | ||
