I almost got a zero Stupid sunscreen video...Number one lesson always read directions. In college there are many things one needs to know. That is why directions are everywhere--you just have to find them. Whether it be your syllabus or your teachers homepage, There are important instructions to each and every assignment. Sometimes the teacher may give them verbally. You must be sure to listen and write these down for they may not repeat themselves.
Lesson Number two...This is a number of things but it all relates to time. The time to do homework, the time to hang out with friends, and the time for your hobbies. Make sure you understand the length your homework is and begin it when you have the chance-there is no feeling like that of being free until your next class period. It is important to hang out with your friends. You do not want to suffocate yourself with school. Moreover, Hobbies can give you some alone time for those moments when you just want to be in solitude.
Final but most important...Never be afraid to express your thoughts and opinions with your teacher. Sometimes they are appropriate to talk about in class, but when they are not feel free to visit your teachers during THEIR office hours. Teachers enjoy their job by hearing students and the growth in knowledge and maybe more importantly in wisdom. In my life I have been told numerous times that plagerism is bad, but not until this year was I ever told that teachers want to hear our individual opinion not someone else's. I think that makes a big difference.
I like that you focused on 3 lessons for college. I think this makes it really a good one for other readers. The last one is pretty helpful. Maybe if a student hears from another student (not just a teacher that sounds like a recording!!!) he/she will believe it! 'Cause it really is true--we want to know what you think!!
ReplyDeleteIt's been good having you in class Jeremy. I enjoyed getting to know you and hearing more of your thoughts & opinions./lm
