Fourteen days, one midterm, five other courses still running. A day-by-day system built on past exams and deliberate weakness-hunting — not re-watching lectures at 2x speed and hoping. What to do each day, and what to stop doing immediately.
FoundationsThe High-School-to-University Math Gap — and How to Close It
The students who struggle in Calculus I usually aren't bad at calculus — they're missing three specific high-school skills the course assumes are automatic. Which three, how to test yourself in an hour, and the repair order that works.
