It’s important to take the right classes at the right time; pay attention to the specific prerequisites for the class you wish to take. You should not attempt to enroll in a class without the required prerequisites.
- Attend class regularly; many instructors follow attendance requirements to the letter. Your instructor and/or syllabus is your guide for attendance requirements for the class/lab you are taking. Don’t sign up for classes you know will be difficult for you to attend.
- Take notes in class. Study the notes you take; strive to
study three hours for every hour of class. Read your textbooks
and underline or take notes in them. Study these notes also.
- Contact your teacher or teaching assistant as soon as you have a problem with learning the material. Do not wait until you are behind in the class.
Participate! Get involved, join campus organizations, attend department seminars, meet people, explore and learn . . . a university education is a big opportunity and a big adventure. Best of luck – and again – welcome to NSM. |
