For many students, summer classes can be hard to navigate.
Between jobs, traveling, and trying to have fun, school is the last thing on any student’s mind. So when they realize there is an assignment due at midnight, it can be hard for them to find the time and motivation to do it.
Time Magazine gives several points of advice for summer students:
1.Remember that summer courses are condensed.
2.Make sure to look into the professor teaching the course.
3. Try and look into electives instead of core classes.
4.Students should also consider if summer classes are for them or if they need a break from school.
The University of Wyoming profes- sors are always willing to help struggling students as long as they communicate.
“Ask for help. So much of life is about asking for help and helping others.” Professor Ashley Burchett said.
“Similarly, ask for advice from those around you. It will broaden your perspec- tive and connect you with wise people who you can learn from and who can support you.”
Study tips that the American Society For Microbiology recommends are:
1. Find a good place or environment to do your schoolwork, such as a desk.
2. Schedule study time in your calendar.
3.Self-evaluate how your study habits are going.
