1 Being a Successful Student
Tips from ENGRG 150 Seminar Credits to Jery Stedinger!

2 Plan to Succeed: Organize to Learn
Use a Calendar to plan EACH week exams classes assignments (including long term assignments) review Balanced schedule recreation, study, class, social Don’t leave it all until the weekend

3 Organize to Learn Don’t get behind in a course Long term assignments
you may not be able to comprehend subsequent topics Getting behind is death Long term assignments divide into incremental scheduled milestones Learn how/when/where you learn best

4 Study tips start homework early and as it is covered in class.
Don’t get stuck on one point or homework problem Go on and come back for assistance Do not try to learn by cramming at the last minute Don’t hesitate to ask for help from Prof. and TA

5 Textbooks and Lectures
Complementary sources of material Figure out how they work together for you consider skimming corresponding text before lecture Textbooks usually cover more material than is covered in the course

6 Exams Find out what is important Look at old exams
Start reviewing early (Getting behind is death) Distribute time among questions based on point value Answer the easiest questions first Don’t get stuck. Settle for partial credit

7 How to be a survivor Cornell is different from high school
Engineering at Cornell requires hard work Manage both time and material time: allocate time for courses in blocks and reserve time for fun material: some topics or readings are extra, some essential. Get handouts and old exams

8 Teamwork Develop a support group of other engineering students
Make contacts in every class Studying in groups is encouraged Help each other: if a friend needs help try to provide it Teaching is the best way to learn something

9 Sleep/Eat/Relax Don’t keep missing sleep
Most people need 8-9 hours/day Avoid all-nighters Eat well (keep a schedule) Excess Stress debilitates EARS (255-ears) get help when you need it, don’t assume the stress will go away Take time to enjoy life too!
