HACC Tutoring Services presents  “How to Succeed in College!”

First, let me introduce you to Goofus here. Yep, that’s the one.

様態の副詞

Not exactly an example  of a stellar student.

Over here though we’ve got Gallant.  He definitely knows what it takes to succeed in college.

Let’s see what we can learn from these guys.

Looks like Goofus is not a morning person. When his alarm goes off, he decides to hit the snooze.

Then he hits it again. And then he hits it again.

Ultimately, he ends up skipping class. Not a morning person either?

Schedule afternoon and evening classes  so that you’re more likely to go.

Gallant planned his classes around his active learning times, so he was able to get up and go to class early.

This gives him the chance to chat with his classmates and look over his notes.

Arriving just five to ten minutes early to class every time can be a huge help in college.

When you are in class,  it can be easy to get lost or confused.

What’s important  is how you handle that.

When Goofus realizes  he has no idea what his teacher is talking about,

he just keeps nodding his head  and spacing out.

When Gallant gets lost, though,  he asks questions to get clarifications.

If you don’t understand what is being taught in class  don’t be afraid to say so.

Chances are some of your classmates will have the same questions that you do.

College also involves a lot of work done  outside of class time, with readings and assignments.

Goofus seems pretty oblivious to the fact that he has an assignment due.

Not a good strategy  for succeeding in college.

Gallant, on the other hand, realizes that he needs to get his work done first

because it’s important.  He also knows that after he is finished,

All of that procrastinating has left Goofus unprepared when his assignments is due.

In a panic, he is now rushing to get things done. Due dates in college are very important.

Procrastinating  adds a lot of unnecessary stress,  and rushed work is not quality work.

Successful students like Gallant here,  work on an assignment well in advance.

They’re ready to hand in quality work on the due date,  which gives them better results.

No college student is perfect.  Mistakes happen.

What’s important is  how you handle those mistakes.

Goofus here totally forgot that his assignment was due today.

Instead of just admitting his mistake and facing the consequences, he starts in on an elaborated excuse.

Basically he is not taking responsibility  for his own education.

Gallant messed up too and missed a deadline,  but he admits his error,

apologizes, and then makes plans  for himself to do better in the future.

All college students could use help  at some time or another,

which is why they offer useful services like free tutoring.

Unfortunately, Goofus here doesn’t plan  to take advantage of these resources.

In fact, he’s pretty intimidated  by the whole thing.

But Gallant knows that no student  should be afraid to ask for help.

In fact, he takes advantage of the free help  so he can do better in his classes.

Working with a tutor, for example,  gives him the chance to ask more questions about what he is learning,

or to review a graded test to see  where he made his mistakes.

College is tough, and you won’t always get the results  that you want the first time.

When Goofus fails his first big test,  he gets so discouraged that he decides to give up

and drop the class. Sometimes good students like Gallant struggle with their grades too,

but they don’t just give up. Gallant knows  that if he keeps trying and uses those campus resources,

he is sure to improve.  He decides to make a plan to do better next time.

So let’s review what tips we’ve learned from  Goofus and Gallant.

Tip Number One: Go to class. Showing up is essential,

so schedule your classes around your natural active times, and make attendance a priority.

Tip Number Two: Ask questions.  Don’t be afraid to speak up in classes

if you don’t understand something.  Chances are you are not the only one.

Tip Number Three: Do your work.  Skipping assignments will quickly tank your grade

and make it more difficult to keep up in the course.

Tip Number Four: Manage your time well.  Don’t wait until the last minute.

Procrastinating adds stress  and leads to sloppy work.

Blaming others or making excuses  won’t help you succeed in college.

Tip Number Six:  Take advantage of campus resources.

Don’t be afraid to get help when you need it. Use the free resources available at HACC.

You have to believe in yourself  and keep giving your best effort to succeed in college.
