As a class, we will get to know the structure and content of the exam and review the necessary verbal, mathematical, and analytical skills. This course will include a large volume of practice problems, specific outlined study approaches to each section, and the development of effective timing and answering strategies. Some out-of-class work will be expected of students who are committed to success.
BASIC MATH REFRESHER

National Student Exchange!
I am writing to invite you to consider the National Student Exchange
(NSE). NSE gives you an opportunity to experience a different area
with its unique cultural and academic opportunities. Since NSE's
beginning in 1968, more than 94,000 students have had the opportunity
to participate in NSE, giving them the opportunity to:
· broaden their personal and educational perspectives
· experience new cultures
· explore new areas of study
· learn from different professors
· access new courses
· experience personal growth
· meet new people
· make new friends
· live in a different area
· investigate graduate schools
· seek future employment
Many returning UW students describe NSE as a life-changing experience
which has made them more independent, self-confident and resourceful;
expanded their risk-taking capabilities; and helped them better define
their academic and career objectives. Students who have been on
exchange return to UW with lasting friendships formed with students
from all over the country.
Prior to exchange, you will develop a written agreement to ensure that
the work you satisfactorily complete on exchange will count toward
your degree program here. NSE operates with tuition reciprocity
(tuition paid to our campus or at the in-state rates of the host
campus) and federal financial aid portability. Your nomination for
participation will be done by NSE @ UW, with selection by the host
campus being completed in March. With placement rates of 97 percent,
our students can generally find a location to meet both their academic
and personal objectives.
Think about it. Visit http://www.nse.org. Talk with your parents,
adviser, and professors about this exciting opportunity. Then, plan to
attend one of our information sessions where we will explain the
details of the program, provide brochures, outline application
procedures, and answer all of your questions. The session schedule is:
Friday January 7, 1:00 - 2:00 MGH 224
Tuesday January 11, 12:30 - 1:30 MGH 224

NASA SEEKS SPACE TECHNOLOGY GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP APPLICANTS
WASHINGTON -- NASA is seeking applications from graduate students for
the agency's new Space Technology Research Fellowships. Applications
are being accepted from accredited U.S. universities on behalf of
graduate students interested in performing space technology research
beginning in the fall of 2011.
The fellowships will sponsor U.S. graduate student researchers who
show significant potential to contribute to NASA's strategic space
technology objectives through their studies. Sponsored by NASA's
Office of the Chief Technologist, the fellowships' goal is to provide
the nation with a pipeline of highly skilled engineers and
technologists to improve America's technological competitiveness.
NASA Space Technology Fellows will perform innovative space
technology research today while building the skills necessary to
become future technological leaders.
"Our Space Technology Graduate Fellowships will help create the pool
of highly skilled workers needed for NASA's and our nation's
technological future, motivating many of the country's best young
minds into educational programs and careers in science, technology,
engineering and mathematics," said NASA Chief Technologist Bobby
Braun at the agency's Headquarters in Washington. "This fellowship
program is coupled to a larger, national research and development
effort in science and technology that will lead to new products and
services, new business and industries, and high-quality, sustainable
jobs. Fellowships will be awarded to outstanding young researchers
and technologists positioned to take on NASA's grand challenges and
turn these goals and missions into reality."
The deadline for submitting fellowship proposals is Feb. 23.
Information on the fellowships, including how to submit applications,
is available at:
