A list of 4 things that a student should do to help them succeed in this course. Your focus should be on Time Management and other related strategies and tactics.

1. In retrospect, this course is very manageable and it allows students to truly spend the semester researching and expanding on a topic that is of high interest and a passion to them. With that being said…definitely make sure that you are making a conscious decision of the topic that you choose because that will be your driving force to motivate you and the main ingredient for success.
2. When it comes to organizing your time around the work that needs to be done for this class, do your best to put aside an appropriate amount of hours to dedicate to writing out the paper. At the beginning of the semester, it may seem like there is a lot of time (which does hold truth) it can just slip through your fingers depending on the other factors in your life such as part-time/full-time jobs and even studying as a full-time student on top of that.
3. Take advantage of the opportunity to interact with your peers as well. It doesn’t hurt to have an extra pair of eyes look over your paper for some feedback. Professor Shapiro is open to looking over your work as well to give you more notes.
4. To piggyback off of an earlier thought, students should definitely utilize the resource of NYC College of Technology’s library. The library staff is available to help students perform at a higher standard. You might be surprised with some of the services that the library has to offer, it is located on the 4th floor in the Atrium building on campus and you should take a visit.
