[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sign up for the 8am class.  They are typically smaller.  Plan your semester, note due dates and exams.  Study consistently throughout the semester.  Use TA and office hours.  Sign up for tutoring if offered.[/quote]

Are you kidding? I always slept through my 8 am classes.[/quote]

College kids staying in dorms stay up late.  My kid always go past midnight.  So, avoid early morning classes (at least the first semester) until the student knows his sleeping pattern.  [/quote]
Ha! We were at an admitted students day panel and one question was “give one piece of advice” - panelist says: “Tread carefully when signing up for classes. You might think the 8AMs are no big deal because you did it every day in high school...that doesn’t usually work out.”[/quote]

Definitely!  I remember thinking 8am seemed late since I'd had to be at my HS at 6:30.  Ended up in a macro economics class at 8 am that was also on the opposite side of campus from my dorm.  Never made that mistake again![/quote]
