These will help you to be better prepared for your session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-b10ce8a13af284166e6cc54c53b28378\"><strong>Before Attending:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take your <strong>placement exams<\/strong>, if needed. You can find them in your Canvas account here: <a href=\"http:\/\/canvas.flint.umich.edu\"><strong>canvas.flint.umich.edu<\/strong><\/a>. Log in with your uniqname and password.
