How can student who succeeded in a course in the past help current students succeed in the same course?
At the end of last semester, I asked my MAT 2580 students to pretend they had a time machine and could deliver a letter to the past versions of themselves at the beginning of the semester explaining what it takes to succeed in the course. Only a handful of students completed this assignment, but their tips for the past versions of themselves will be useful for you too!
For this assignment, read the tips that the past students wrote and reply to one of them in a comment. Begin your comment with “Hello [their name]! My name is [your name] and I am a current student in MAT 2580. Your letter to yourself is helpful to me because…” then, write a paragraph explaining why you found their letter useful and how you will incorporate their tips to succeed this semester.
