1. Be prepared for classes. *.Check out the Academic Schedule of Dates in the online Course Calendar to find out when classes begin *.Print off your schedule of classes and find your classrooms before the first day *.Be sure to get the course syllabus (outline) from your professor. This will contain important information about the course, marking scheme, and office hours of your professor *.Keep your syllabus throughout the term, and be sure to refer to it frequently. It can also act as a study guide during midterms and exams *.Go to Class! Although most professors do not take attendance, it is important to get the most out of your lectures by attending. There is no substitute for being there! 2. Ask questions! *.Don't be afraid to ask questions in class or during a tutorial. Outside of class, you can email your professor or teaching assistant, or visit them during their office hours *.Don't wait until it's too late to ask for help if you are having problems with the course material *.Talk to a Student Success Advisor if you have any questions about courses, program selection or if you need academic counselling *.There are lots of supports and services around campus, so use them! If you are in residence, talk to you Resident Assistant (RA), someone in your program, or someone in the office around campus. If they don't know the right answer, they will be able to point you in the right direction 3. Develop good study habits! *.Use a day planner to keep track of upcoming dates for assignments and tests *.Develop a routine for organising your workload. Use time between classes to catch up on reading and studying *.Review your course notes on a regular basis *.Keep up to date on all your required reading *.Form a study group to review lecture notes and prepare for your exams. Mixing social interaction with studying will make it more fun *.Get started with assignments right away. Don't leave things to the last minute *.Review for tests over a longer period of time. Take breaks while studying and avoid "all nighters." Your memory works best if you recall information frequently over time *.Seek help if you are having trouble with your courses. There are lots of resources available on campus that can help you if you are feeling overwhelmed with your studies 4. Develop communication skills Oral and written communication skills will be part of everything you do at university. These are skills you will want to have well developed by the time you graduate. *.Attend the free Skills for Success Seminars offered by the Student Success Centre *.Take advantage of peer tutoring. All students receive 5 free hours of tutoring throughout each academic year *.Visit the Writing Centre (found in the Library Commons). The Writing Centre helps students in planning, writing, and revising academic papers 5. Understand the marking scheme To be successful, it is important for you to understand what is needed in each of your courses. *.Read the course syllabus (outline) carefully *.Review how much each assignment, test, paper, etc. is worth *.Understand how each of these contributes to your overall mark in the course *.If you are not sure, talk to your professor and ask questions *.Keep on top of important deadlines like when to drop courses, special exams, petition deadlines, etc. These dates can be found in the Academic Schedule of Dates in the online Course Calendar *.Some professors will include "participation" marks; this means attending class and participating in discussions and group sessions. By doing so, you can contribute to increasing your average 1 Like |
