You'll probably take fourteen to sixteen credit hours your first semester. (Do not overload yourself first semester or take more than one course with a lab.) These hours will probably be filled with core requirements. If you are a student in the College of Liberal Arts, you must meet standards in mathematics, rhetoric, natural and social sciences, literature, foreign language, and in the historical-cultural area. In your junior and senior years you will begin to specialize in the area of your interest, but first a firm foundation must be laid. You can't become a general before you are a private. After registration at the Field House, you may purchase and get acquainted with your textbooks. Your instructor will probably announce the texts for the course; however, the local bookstores have complete course lists on hand and can give you information on the books needed. Before classes start, sit down and plan your daily schedule. Budgeting time is important in assuring success. Leave time for eating, relaxing, personal grooming, and sleeping. Remember to get at LEAST seven hours of sleep a night. You can get your studying done during the day if you actually study rather than daydream, worry, or goof-off during the time allotted for studying. Many coeds find it easier to study away from their rooms. Good study places include the Main Library, the Physics, Art, Education, and Chemistry department libraries in their respective buildings, the study room in Schaeffer Hall, the music room or lounges of the Union, or church youth centers. Find a place immediately where you can study in a pleasant atmosphere relatively free from interruptions. A good academic start through a consistent study program at SUI will save hours of worry and sleep around mid-term and final periods. Do not put off till tomorrow what you can do today. Be sure to attend all classes, labs, or discussion periods whether roll call is taken or not. Notes from these periods are invaluable. Learn to take good notes by identifying main points and ideas and writing them in outline form. Waiting for a class to begin, review your last lecture. The more time spent reviewing a subject, the better your memory will be at test time. If you are having trouble with a course, be sure and get help. Course instructors are glad to help a sincerely interested student. Their office hours are usually given at the first class meeting period or posted outside of their offices. (Don't wait until test time to see them!) Your academic record at SUI will follow you wherever you go later in life. A good record can be achieved by determination and good studying program. Don't slight this area of your college life. Give it your full attention and success will be yours. "Hit it with both guns." 13
