Dear Future Student,

If I could turn back the time I would definitely make sure to always be on time with my assignments. Missing assignments create a snowball effect and the assignments keep building up until you’re drowning in work. For the assigned readings, I would advise taking an hour out of your day to sit down and actually soak in the information, whether reading slowly or reading more than once. Now for the low-stakes assignments, I would literally say just do it. Even if you aren’t happy with it just do it. These assignments seem minuscule, but if you let enough of them pass, it can really hurt you. For the major assignments, drafts are really important, not only for the extra points but also so you can get a better understanding of where your paper is going. If you follow this advice you will surely pass the class and do well.

Sincerely,

Past Student
