From Edison College
From Edison College
1.
Attend New Student Orientation at the beginning of
the fall or Spring Semester.
2.
GEN 101S, First Year Experience provides excellent
content and resources to be a successful student. It is likely that this class will
be part of your first semester.
3.
Be sure to attend all classes, and be on time.
4.
To reduce distractions, sit near the front of the
class.
5.
Keep a copy of the syllabus for each class so that
you will know what is going on, what you should be doing, and how soon you need
to get it done.
6.
Be a good listener. Focus and concentrate on main
points.
7.
Take good notes in class, and review your notes
within 24 hours. Then, review your notes periodically to help you retain
information. Index cards with key information are also helpful way to review.
8.
STUDY!! To be a successful college student, study at
least two hours a week every hour you spend in class. This is a minimum.
9.
Determine an ideal study location, and plan study
time when you are at your best to retain information.
10. Maintain a
student planner to keep track of important dates and projects.
11. Apply additional
time management strategies, including planning, setting goals, and prioritizing
schoolwork and your additional responsibilities.
12. Avoid marathon
study periods. Instead, study for short intervals with a break in between. For
example, study for 30 minutes, take a 3-minute break, come back and review,
then repeat the process.
13. Get to know other
students in your classes for added study support and to study together when
possible.
14. Practice in
class, and ask your instructor questions when needed. Meet them during office
hours for additional support and guidance.
