A Fresh Start

The great thing about the fall is that we get a fresh start on academic success. Most important questions to have answered by Monday morning: 1) is my schedule complete? Even if it is not, make every effort to attend all class meetings, whether or not you are formally enrolled. 2) check out each course on Blackboard and download the syllabus. Begin thinking about what you will learn and how you will use the information you receive. 3) have a notebook and pen ready to take to each class. Don't fall for the myth that nothing important happens on the first day. 4) plan on getting to each class early enough to get a front row seat. Now, get a good night's sleep and make sure you have set your alarm. Have a great semester!
