Guide to Academic Success: Post Spring
Break
You just got
done your Spring Break. We hope you had fun but it is time to
get back to business. A lot of students get comfortable (lazy)
when it comes to their classes after returning from spring
break. It is easy to let all the hard work you put in before
break be wasted if you start slacking now. If you aren’t doing
great in a class don’t pack it in, there is still time to
improve (7 weeks!). Evaluate where you are and what you have
left to do in each of your classes. Make a plan and follow
through.
___Finish The Semester Strong!___
For each of your classes answer the following questions and make
a plan for a successful finish:
ü
What is my current grade?
(know where you are, communicate
with your
instructor)
ü
How many assignments do I have
left to complete?
(look @ your syllabus)
ü
How much is each assignment worth?
(prioritize)
ü
How many absences do I have at
this point?
(can you afford
anymore?)
ü
Are there any opportunities for
extra credit?
(take advantage of it!)
ü
Are there any projects I should be
starting now?
(don’t procrastinate)
ü
What kind of final exam will there
be…cumulative?
(it’s never too early
to start
preparing/reviewing)
ü
Can I make up or re-summit any
assignments?
(it can’t hurt to ask)
ü
What is my goal for each class…A,
B, C? (be
realistic and honest with yourself)
