Student
Success Tips
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 good information are also a helpful way to
review.
8. Study! To be a
successful college student, study at least two hours a week for every hour you
spend in class. This is a minimum.
9. Determine an ideal study space, 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, prioritizing schoolwork and your additional responsibilities.
12.
Avoid marathon study periods. Instead, study
for short intervals with breaks 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 support and to study together if possible.
14.
Participate in class, and ask your instructor
questions when needed. Meet with them during office hours for additional
support and guidance.
