Some of you may have seen the title of a book that Bill posted - How to Succeed in College Mathematics - I'm already thinking about how I can embed some of the topics!

FYI - I attended an AMATYC webinar yesterday; among the CATs the presenters use is a "fess up" activity. They have their students purchase a pack of 3x5 cards that they use for CATs (muddiest point, etc) but in the fess-up CAT, if the class gets started with people behaving like they didn't do homework, use the 3x5 card to "fess-up" that you aren't prepared.
