YOUR TIME WELL

Going to class is one of the first things you should probably do. You may be thinking, but if I go to class isn’t that trying to succeed? Well not quite, because in college if you don’t go to the two classes you are automatically dropped form the class. Now you can’t fail if you have nothing to fail in. Come to class late or even leave early. Go to class enough that you will not be dropped from the class. While in class do poorly on coursework,

Time management is extremely important. Make sure to write down all the assignments, readings, due dates, and test/exam dates. Make sure to stay organized, that’s the most important thing!

The first piece of advice that i offer future freshman is to have a good attendance record. When I was a freshman, I would miss school occasionally and on a daily basis. It affected my grades in classes that I was already struggling with such as math or biology. Missing school days a certain amount of times can affect a student’s grade drastically because they are missing important lessons and information needed for future tests or quizzes. Also, from my experience, making up school work that i missed was very difficult because i would end up being behind or the work would add up more and more. Keeping up in classes and coming to school will

What has been the best strategy that you guys have used throughout semesters to stay on track and make sure you aren’t missing anything?

Lastly, grades can kill. I mean do not let grades slip. Always do, and hand in assignments in the beginning of the semester or quarter. Grades matter more in high than in middle school. Collages are going to look at high school grades. I did not try in middle school at all knowing this, so most of my grades were C's. Now that I am in high school I stay up till the middle of the night doing home work. Try to check the grade book on Skyward once or twice a week, and ask the teacher nicely if an assignment is missing. Never let grades slip; the punishment could be summer

Dear Incoming Student, when times get tough, fight back twice as hard. Try your absolute hardest to not be overwhelmed. Stay true to yourself and everything will be okay. If you set some goals for the end of the year, i.e. Keep a 3.0 GPA, and stick to it you are almost guaranteed to succeed. Throughout high school I’ve learned that life will throw anything and everything at you that it can, and what brings you down will always make you stronger in the end--- but help is there when you need it, so ask for it.

Advice that I would give to incoming students is to go to class for one. Dr. Sommers teaches a lot of information during the class period so miss to many class can really affect your grade. Another thing I would advice is to pick a good partner who is willing to study with you. If you have a partner who is always trying to study it would make it easier to learn the

Reading. First, while undergrad courses require reading, it barely compares to the amount required at the graduate level. Grad school entails a tremendous amount of reading, ranging anywhere from 50-100 pages per week. And if you are taking multiple courses, be ready to multiply that figure. The only way to accomplish it all is to realize it is near impossible to read all the material cover to cover. Expectation that you don’t read it all, but rather skim the articles and pull out main points. As a result I have learned a different way to approach reading articles and develop an understanding of the material.
