Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Counseling services to help students make adjustments and solve problems may be available to students. If so, they are often very helpful. This is preferable to reducing the courses the student is taking or eliminating family and recreational activities, which are beneficial in stress management. Study groups can be helpful, but they are not intended to divide course work.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Every instructor is different, and it is beneficial to get to know each instructor's style, personality, and expectations as much as possible. This does not involve offering personal compliments to the instructor or asking questions for the purpose of becoming known. At the same time, a student should not be completely silent at the start of a course.
