What do you feel this course (UN100) should focus on? What do you need help in, specifically?
I feel UN100 should focus on how to survive college, strategies for how to study better and work on getting good grades, and how to get involve with college. I know it kind of focuses on these things already, but not enough. I find it really hard because there have been many guest speakers coming in, and it doesn't give enough time in class to go over this stuff. Class is only for an hour and 40 minutes, but sometimes the guest speakers go on and on and on, leaving not enough time to go over these things. What I feel I need help in is the habit of studying every night and studying strategies. I have been having a hard time studying because I am still used to my habits I used during high school, where I wait until the night before or the morning of to go over the material before a test. Even though I got kind of good grades in high school doing this, I am seeing it does not work out during college. I am trying the flash card deal, and going over them over and over again, in which I found out helped on my human anatomy quiz in lab. I also wait last minute to do homework, but I am also starting the habit of doing homework every night. Hopefully doing these strategies will help and I hope to see raises in my grades in my classes.

I agree! It frustrates me that we have so many guest speakers and I feel so rushed all of the time. The good news is we don't have any for a while now so we can finally concentrate on what we need to.
It is hard to break the HS study habits. Our next chapter deals with Test Anxiety & Test Taking Strategies, so you'll want to pay close attention to that.
Do you attend study groups or tutoring? Those are always great extras.

I completely agree with what you said about what we should be working on in this class. And with the guest speakers it is hard to go over all of the materials we should be going over. And i did the same exact thing in high school, i waited until the last minute to do my homework or study, or i just wouldn't study at all. Now i'm trying to study at least a little bit every night so i don't have to wait until the last minute.
