Academic Success Tip - 11 Weeks Remain

Wow!  You have already completed three weeks in the fall semester.  At this point, it is a good idea to begin visiting your professors during office hours (if you have not already done so) to get clarification on any gaps in your notes or your outlines.  Before deadlines loom, it is also a good time to review your monthly calendar to plan your big projects.  Try to accomplish these two tasks this week:

  • Make a list of questions to ask your professors.  Plan when you will go see your professors this week to get their assistance.  It is easier for a professor to get you on the right path if you ask questions early and often.
  • Use a monthly calendar to write down all deadlines for papers, projects, mid-terms, practice exams, and assignments.  Plan over the next month when you will work on specific tasks for those longer-range deadlines.
