A few reminders:
1. If you wish to be successful, you must pay attention, take careful notes, and think.
2. The traditional time allotment for study is three hours outside of class for each hour in class. Computers and the 'net help immensely in the matter of time, but you must prepare for each class.
3. A reading assignment is not a reading suggestion; you must learn how to establish priorities, say no to interruptions, work in small blocks of time, and review your notes and read any assignments.
4. This class does not teach basic literacy or basic cultural knowledge that are accumulated beginning early in life. Success in your career requires more than cultural norms predicated on MTV, Flip this Desperate Dancing Housewife Off the Planet, local gossip, and an in-depth knowledge of the offense squad of the Green Bay Cowboys. Time to wear the big-boy pants, turn off the transient popular culture, and focus on what is best for you.
5. Don't read from the high school script; that's last year's plan. College requires maturity, initiative, and work, not passive occupation of space.
