Hello M2s,

We hope your first week of B&B has gone smoothly! Next week we have several opportunities for you to enhance your command of the B&B material:

All sessions are on the same day, Tuesday, September 13th.

At 1 and 3 pm, we will run Content Connections groups on the 4th floor of the Student Center--meet in room 4008 to start.

At 2 and 4 pm, we offer Question Groups, again on the 4th floor of the Student Center.

From 5-7 pm, Supplemental Instruction (SI) will meet in 1023 Orr Major. SI will continue to change over the course of the school year with a goal of becoming more active learning oriented. Currently, it is a mix of multiple choice question practice with clickers and some content review. There are now pre and post SI tests available to you in ANGEL. The pretests are soley for those attending SI. The posttests are available for any M2 after 6:30 pm on the day of SI.

Please RSVP to bhofmeister@kumc.edu for the Content and Question groups so we can plan materials and manpower. But, do feel free to come at the last minute if you can't commit...we always have room for a few extra!

Good Morning M2s!
