English 12 Meets in Room 210 in E Block, usually first block on Tuesday and last block on Thursday. I am also available in Flex blocks in Block B (212) and Block F (126). It is very important to be in mandatory classes (hence the name!) as that is when I hand out learning guides and go over information in seminars.

Learning Guide 18: Exam Review and Mock EXAM
i find that exam preparation works best if we begin it early in the semester and keep practicing as the semester goes along. This gives you time to correct any mistakes in process you might be making, and also to learn any terms that you might not be sure about. This makes it important to be in class every E block. See you there!
