Tip 4:

The tip about checking the syllabus is something I know I need to take more seriously. In the past during high school, I’ve skimmed through the syllabus at the start of the semester and then forgot about it, which sometimes caused me to miss important details. This tip stands out to me because it highlights the importance of being organized and proactive, which are areas I need to work on. For this class, I’ll make sure to thoroughly review the syllabus and refer back to it regularly, especially when I have questions about assignments or grading. This way, I’ll avoid unnecessary confusion and stress later on. Going forward, I’ll keep the syllabus handy and use it as my first go-to resource before asking the professor any questions.

Tip 8:

The tip about trying new things really resonates with me because I tend to stick to what I’m used to. But I realize that by doing that, I might be missing out on better ways to study and learn. This tip is important because it pushes me to step out of my comfort zone and explore different study techniques. In this class, I’m going to be more open to trying out any study methods the professor suggests, even if they seem a bit odd at first. For example, if I usually study with music, I’ll try studying without it to see if it helps me focus better. By being open to experimenting, I might find new strategies that actually work better for me. From now on, I’ll remind myself that trying new things can lead to personal growth.
