Well-being and Self-care: Last but not least. We all need to take our physical and mental
well-being very seriously. If you are experiencing concerns, seeking help is a courageous thing to
do for yourself and those who care about you. If the source of your stressors is academic, please
contact me so that we can find solutions together. For personal concerns, U-M offers a variety of
resources, many which are listed on the Resources for Student Well-being webpage:

General advice: Attempt all homework problems as soon as you receive them. You are encouraged
to discuss problems and concepts with the instructor, fellow students, and the GSI, but do so after
you have thought about them on your own. Please do not hesitate to go to the GSI’s or instructor’s
office hours. In fact, personally, I am looking forward to interacting with you. The homework and
exam solutions you submit should, however, be your own work.
