Question #5 What can you do to succeed in college?
Class Load
Students often relate work outside of classes to their high school experience. It is a given fact that
for every hour in class you will need to study a minimum of 3 hours
.
Something to think about:
Before selecting your classes, get a copy of the schedule.
Highlight the courses you think you should take, and then highlight the courses that look fun to you.
Remember, if this is your first time in college
don't overload yourself
.
Upper level courses (numbered 300 or higher) are designed for Juniors and Seniors who have already completed freshman level writing, science, and humanities courses. Students need to take the sequence of classes in order to be prepared for the coursework.
