A Self-Study for Success
Research papers, class projects, take-home assignments, and mid-term exams are typical experiences for all college students. How do you think you are doing? Are you learning what you should be learning? Ask yourself the following questions:
1) Do you go to class regularly?
2) Do you have a textbook? Do you review it before/after class and for tests?
3) When you have questions, do you ask them?
4) Do you go see your instructor during their office hours?
5) Do you do your homework regularly? Your assignments? Do you belong to a study
group to do class work together?
6) When is the last time you met with an academic counselor? Do you have an
educational plan? Do you have a goal? Do you know what classes to take to
reach your goal?
7) Do you use the free tutors and academic support services that are available to
you? Do you know what and where they are?
8) Do you know how to get assistance when you are having difficulty in class?
9) Did you know there are people on campus who are here just to make sure you
get the support you need to do well in class?
10) Do you believe you can do well and achieve your goals?
If you answered “no” to more than two of these questions, you might benefit from some support. Make an appointment with your instructor or an academic counselor to discuss what is working and what is not working for you as a student. You can do this!
