Times A Tickin' [hand drawing of parking meter] You can't spend all your time sightseeing at SUI. The original purpose for college concerns academic achievements. In conference with your adviser, you'll want to plan a possible course of study. And then, after registration, the actual concentrated efforts of absorbing knowledge begin. In the classroom, as elsewhere, you will want to assume a sincerely interested attitude. Govern your schedule to give a little more than the required allotment of time to your studies. A total of 30 to 35 hours for studying each week is usually suggested. Teachers often recommend that two hours be spent on your own for every session spent in the classroom. Either way, the amount can be regulated according to your own needs and daily time schedule. But above all, start off at the beginning of the semester with honest ambitions to learn and then stick to them. Don't slight your work expecting to catch up later, because it can't be done with success. And the endeavors you make from the beginning of a college career will more than likely mark your pattern of success throughout the ensuing years. Upperclassmen, in particular, recognize the importance of getting a head start for the most lasting rewards. It's bound to be a bumpy road ahead with intense competition and increased subject difficulty. Your job lies, then, in using the best methods of study and employing these to meet your potential. Take thorough class notes and avoid missing any lecture or class discussion. Both are necessary to prepare for exams. Learn to select the important ideas from a lecture and jot them down for later study. Daily review of these class notes will also aid you in remembering the material presented from day to day. Again, examination week will be easier for you if you've been adequately prepared before time. Yes, from the day classes begin, time's a tickin', and it won't be long 'til it's all expired. Remember that parties and all those bright lights will still be there later. Quizzes, midterms, and finals are going to be coming around that corner, so dim those bright lights and you'll pass without scrapes. 12
