Message from the Chair
As the semester comes to an end and we all prepare for the exam season (December 8-20) we wish our students the best of luck. On behalf of the Department we hope your months of preparation will serve you well. And if that is not the case, then your last minute cramming sessions prove successful, however ill-advised.
For exam season tips head to this site, some of the best advice I’ve seen on the net.
To those that will be grading exams, we hope you get through your pile of marking and are able to relax over the holidays. And of course we wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season!
– Professor Brent Sleep
REMINDER: For the Winter Break Holiday the University is closed December 21 to January 2 inclusively. Classes begin again on January 4.
