Do you know where your strengths and weaknesses are in math - not just the content - but in the approach that you use to do mathematics?  Before going to the Study Skills workshops, if you'd like to know how good your math study skills are, you can log on to www.academicsuccess.com to take a short multiple-choice test; for username, type: msse and for password, type: fourth.  It only takes a few minutes and will help give you a good start on what you need to change to be successful.
