Related Courses
There are many more excellent related courses out there, but these happen to be
the ones I have looked at when designing this course, and they are also all great courses.
Mental Health
Being a student can be very stressful.
If you feel you are under too much pressure or there are psychological
issues that are keeping you from performing well at Brown, we
encourage you to contact Brown's Counseling and Psychological Services
(CAPS).
They provide confidential counselling.
Coping with Unforeseen or Difficult Circumstances
If there are events that are upsetting to you, whether political, family-related, weather-related, etc., that affect your ability to do well in class, we are happy to take them into account with respect to our late policy.
Please feel free to talk to the instructor about this.
Additionally, Student Support Services Deans can be a helpful resource for discussing current concerns and academic and personal plans.
They are available for both same-day consults and scheduled appointments.
