Success begins with reading your syllabus.
Your grade is rarely higher than your attendance. Go to class. All the time.
The answer to, “Did you talk to your professor?” should always be, “Yes.” Professors want you to stop by during office hours.
Commit to your classes like they are your JOB.
They are.
Ask for help when you need it.
We have LOTS of resources.
Before you present a problem, determine a possible solution.
After it’s due…it’s an excuse.
Time Management • Create a calendar of dates • Make a “to do” list • Schedule relaxation, exercise and recreation time • Allow time to review before class • Don’t over commit • Avoid procrastination
