Happy New Year, everyone! We want to make sure you enjoy your winter break, but we also want to prepare you for the upcoming semester. In this week’s edition of CBE Connect, we will give you advice on how to make your new year successful and more productive.
Check your TU email
In order to ensure that you have a successful semester, we recommend you check your TU email daily. Your student email keeps you updated on internships, career advice, special events, and academic advising.
Improve your time management skills
Another great way to prepare for the semester is to improve your time management skills. Set your priorities early before the world sets them for you. Also, read the class syllabus before the semester begins.
Read the syllabus
Reading the syllabus can give you a great deal of insight about the class. The syllabus lets you know how much time you may need to dedicate to the class and it also allows you to view a grade breakdown for the course. You can use this information to create a final grade calculator, so you always know where you stand in the class.
Meet with your advisor
We recommend you schedule your advising appointment as early as possible. This can ensure you register for classes on time, and it is easier on you and your advisor. You have more flexibility in selecting an appropriate meeting time and getting your questions answered.
See you next Wednesday for more weekly updates from CBE Connect. Enjoy the rest of your break!
