Academics... To get a good start in "academia" set your plan of action and follow through! For each class it is usually suggested that approximately two hours be spent in preparation. A normal load of fourteen to sixteen hours may require from thirty to thirty-five hours of studying per week. It may seem exhaustive and demanding, but it is our primary business and reason for being here. Core requirements almost fill your schedule for the first two years. Rhetoric and selections from the natural and social sciences, literature, foreign language, and the historical-cultural core offer a variety of courses suited to your interest. To be wise, set up a realistic study schedule before you start classes. If each day is budgeted, there will be time for studying, dating, and participating in activities. If you keep that "stick to it" spirit, fun times will not infringe upon your necessary study sessions. Your good intentions followed through will eliminate procrastination, which results in cramming the night before a mid-term examination. A pleasant quiet place to "book" allows more concentrated study and better learning. If at times the social atmosphere of your room is a hindrance to studying, the dorms offer unit lounges and both Burge and Currier have downstairs libraries. The Main Library has reference material and outside reading assignments. The Union, Math, Art, Education, Business Administration, and Chemistry buildings have their own libraries. Study rooms are available in Schaeffer Hall and the English-Philosophy Building. If you're in the Honors Program, you may study in the Honors House, located back of Burge. After you have registered, you should purchase and glance through your texts. Although instructors announce the required books at the first class session, the four local bookstores have complete course lists and the necessary texts posted. Whether your classes are large lectures, discussion groups, or labs, you will be competing with students of all abilities and ages. If you strive to get the most from your classes and do your assignments, good grades will follow. Don't give up if you're behind. Just keep working! It's a rare person who's caught up in everything at any time. Attendance in every class is necessary, even though roll may not be taken in class. Responsibility for attending classes is entirely your own. Iowa grades on a 4-point scale. You receive 4 points for every hour of "A," 3 points for every hour of "B," 2 for every hour of "C," 1 for every hour of "D," and 0 for every hour of "F." For the first time this fall, juniors and seniors may take one elective on a pass-fail basis. College work is not easy and there will be times when you will have trouble with a course. Instructors have office hours and are generally available by appointment to assist in explanation. In many course, tutors 12
