Many times thisoccurs since there is no practical relevance of the material presented – as far as the student isconcerned. Unfortunately, all of these underlying courses and related material become verycritical as upper level course material is addressed in the final semesters of a student’sundergraduate educational studies. Often the students feel that they do not command the subjectmatter well enough and sometimes feel that it is too late to catch up and review what they nowrealize they should have already known from previous courses.
