Comments by participants:

"This course is an excellent way to prepare students for the coming fall curriculum, both in material but also testing examples."

"It is a terrific way for incoming 1st  year students to get acquainted with the rigors of the program as well as to begin forming relationships with classmates.  By far, the best assets of the workshop are the instructors - they were terrific."

"I really like this class, I feel like it really prepared me and got me excited for the upcoming semester!"
