Tips for First-Year Student
SUCCESS Go to class! Meticulously read and review each course syllabus. Have the required textbook for each course. It is not optional, it is necessary! Perform like a pro. Go to class prepared and participate in class (e.g. stay awake, take thorough notes, answer questions). Serious about getting work done? Find a good location. Use the library, study rooms or empty classrooms. Make doing your coursework (e.g. assignments and reading) a habitual ritual. Turn in all assignments on time! Guidance and help exist. Set up your tutors before there is a problem.
Take breaks to get energized. Eat, sleep, exercise and relax! Be a test preppie. Before a test, quiz yourself to see if you can recall information without looking at notes and textbooks. Get to know your professors and advisor. Visit them during their office hours and ask questions when needed. Set SMART goals. S Specific goals have a much greater chance of being accomplished. M Measure your progress to stay on track. A Make your goals attainable. Plan your steps wisely. R To be realistic, set goals which you are both willing and able to work. T Your goal should be grounded within a time frame.
Write it down. Gather your syllabus from each class and plot major assignments, quizzes and exams on a monthly calendar.
