LAST MINUTES ARE DANGEROUS: it is NOT recommended that any students intentionally put off assignments and homework assuming that a Tutor can quickly catch-you-up. Academic success takes time and preparation on your part. Please read all instructor-assigned materials and start your assigned projects before a Tutor appointment.
