Advice for students
“Utilize your resources such as the writing center, math lab, instructor office hours, student disability and counseling services, and study groups. Build upon what you already know to make later lessons more understandable. Manage your time accordingly, to avoid cramming.”

Advice for students
“Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.  Manage your time effectively; set up a timeline for getting work completed in each of your courses. Set aside adequate time for homework, study, sleep, relationships, and work. You do not need to always finish every task all at once. Remember, you can write a 365-page book every year if you only write one page per day.”
