The Swain tutoring is very helpful.

I had McKinley and thought he was a great professor. She should be thankful her professor is a native English speaker.


Sit down alone and really focus on doing the Webwork. I think many students just try to ‘get through it’ either by getting answers from other people, or some other means. Honestly, I don’t think the lecture was very helpful. I attribute my success in the course to focusing on Webwork and the recommended practice problems.
This may be due to the fact I rarely made it to lecture, but the finite show (McKinley’s the host) was very helpful. Most were 45-60 minutes long and I felt like did a better job explaining the material than actual class. I also like that it allowed me to pause, fast-forward, or rewind as needed.


I’d say finite is similar to A100 in that practice problems are the way to succeed. The difference though is that lecture attendance is more critical in A100 than M118.
