Hello everyone!
My name is Sebastian, and I will be your Peer Tutor this Spring for Thermodynamics. In addition to getting an A when I took this course, I was also the Thermodynamics Peer Tutor last semester, and I truly believe I can help you all succeed in this class by sharing the study skills that worked best for me.
