Advice for the New Quarter

Hi Everyone,

I found this article regarding the "secrets" of syllabi. 
It's a new quarter, meaning you get to start fresh! You might want to also keep the following in mind:

• Write down all important dates (midterms, homework due dates, finals, etc.) for ALL classes in a planner or overall quarter/semester sheet.  Keep this list posted in your room/study area and refer it regularly. 
• Despite that "small" homework percentage, complete ALL of your homework.  Reasons:
• Homework = test questions (or something very similar). 
• Every amount to your grade helps....unless you obtain 100% on ALL of your tests (which you probably won't, sorry), it's really awesome to get these points....something I like to refer to as "free points"

Have a wonderful quarter! If you have any other organizational tips for the new year, feel free to leave a question in the comments.

Good luck!

After College

College is all about preparing you for the "real world."  A graduate student once described to me that the engineering classes that you take is a "new tool for your toolbox."  I love this interpretation!!! Again, engineering is able solving new problems...not having them solved for you in school.  From one of my favorite bloggers, here is a link to what you don't learn in college. Check it out. :-)
