SCHOLASTIC BRIEF 29 AUG 05 OC CARUSO

Overview - Study tips - Office hours - Resources - Unit standards - Tutoring hours

Study Tips - “All-nighters” don’t have to happen. Time management and paying attention during class go a long way. - At least skim over the material before class. - Don’t hesitate to ask for help.

Study Tips - Use a planner and schedule study time. Know exact test dates and write them down. - Does group study help you? If so, form a small study group during the first few weeks of class. - Groups do not work for everyone. - Know at least 2 fellow classmates’ s and phone numbers.

Study Tips - PROCRASTINATION a.k.a. the college student’s WORST enemy. - Professors will allow you to study at your own pace most of the time (not many strict deadlines or assignments, just major midterms). - Begin studying for a midterm at least 1 week before.

Office Hours - Every professor is required to hold office hours. - During the first week of school, meet your professor and introduce yourself. - Use these hours for HW questions, questions about the lectures, or to discuss your grades.

Office Hours - TA office hours are also helpful. - If the professor’s explanation does not make sense, ask a TA. - When the end of the semester comes around, a professor is more likely to make a borderline A an A if he/she knows you have made an effort to understand the material.

Resources - UT learning center (Jester 3 rd Floor) -FREE tutoring for students with financial aid FREE tutoring for students with financial aid Classes on time management, note taking, studying. - Classes on time management, note taking, studying. - Formula sheets - Formula sheets - Writing Lab (Undergraduate Library, room 211) Unit tutoring
