10 academic things i learned in uni (so far).
i recently saw this post and was inspired to make my own. i’ve finished two years of university so far and this list is compiled of 10 academic things i wish i knew sooner:
if a class has participation, try your hardest to get a high mark in that portion - even if it’s only worth 10%. in the end, it’ll help your mark.
never say you will study for a certain # of hours straight. take account for breaks and moments of procrastination.
take at least one day to just START your assignments - read over the requirements and make a brief outline/notes.
studying for midterms/finals are so much easier if you just do the textbook readings throughout the semester and make notes. by the final, you’ll be so grateful.
try to figure out as soon as possible where you study best - is it at school or home/residence? i personally study best at home.
profs are not as scary as you think they are.
sometimes friends are not always the best people to study with.
do all the practice exam questions profs provide. most of the time, you’ll find that the actual exam questions are the exact same or very similar.
don’t take classes that other people say are ‘easy’ mark boosters. take classes that you are interested in! more interest usually means higher marks.
always strive to improve, whether it’s by 1% or 10%.
