Besides our GAMSAT course syllabus and schedule, Dr. Ferdinand will hold small group tutorials either before class or during lunch, or after class, so that he can be available for further discussions. On the morning of the first day, students will be assigned to which small group they would belong. Printing of practice problem sets is included in the course tuition.
