There is nothing worse than looking at your canvas Monday morning and realizing you somehow missed an assignment that had been due yesterday at 11:59 p.m. Now is the time to keep up with all your due dates.
If you have a question or are having a problem, email your Teacher or visit them during Office Hours. Many times they are able to answer your questions and help you get back on track academically.
Finals are coming up, make sure you schedule time every day to study. Doing homework and studying the material are two different things. Sure, doing homework reinforces the lectures, and labs, but looking over your notes and reading the book or written material that comes with the course will help you retain the information. Wait, what if I don’t have notes? Now is a good time to take notes and make a study guide. Form a study group with your classmates, it is fun!
What if I have the BEST/WORST Professor, ever?
If you have the BEST Professor ever, talk to the professor and let them know you love their class and why. You can also let their Departmental Dean know how happy you are with the Professor and why.
If you have the WORST Professor ever, talk to that professor’s Departmental Dean and let them know what is happening. You can even talk to VP Hogans or President Bigard if it is a big problem or something you feel strongly about.
Recently, I was talking to someone about end of course evaluations. I have left amazing evaluations and (ahem) maybe one not-so-good evaluation. I thought I would share why they are so important. Not only does it feel really good to leave positive feedback for those professors you love; but it is also advantageous (and satisfying) to leave negative feedback toward a professor you did not see eye to eye with.No matter what, the end of course evaluations are how you can share your viewpoint with your professor, and your professor’s boss. You can leave a kudos, or a scathing review of what they did wrong. The evaluations go into the professor’s permanent record and are an important metric used during their annual evaluations. Use your voice to be heard! Fill out your annual evaluation for each class and make a difference.Remember, you got this!
