Study
Often and Early
The
typical first-year student’s schedule includes
4–6 classes totaling 12–16 credit hours.
Usually one or more of these is an introductory-level
course such as biology, math, chemistry, or english.
As you may have already discovered, the coursework
that accompanies this kind of class schedule is
demanding. Moreover, due to the constraints of
college schedules, there will be many weeks in a
semester where more than one course will have exams,
papers, or other assignments due at the same time.
It is therefore essential
that you stay ahead of your classes by studying often
and early. If possible, study ahead of the lecture
schedule during the early part of the semester to
ease the load on yourself during midterms and the
final weeks of each term. Getting ahead of your
studies and staying there is one of the biggest
favors you can do for yourself in college!
