  2. My strategies for this semester will be to try to be on time. It is important because in those five to ten minutes that I am late to class I can miss important information that I will need. Also I would ask for help if I need it because when it comes to testing I’m going to have to know what I am doing. I can’t just assume or act like I know because it’s going to hurt me later on. Also I would study and do my homework so I can get credit for it. It would also help me out with my final grade to and studying would keep me prepare for my exams to be able to get the grade need to pass. To me these strategies are important to succeed in this course.

  3. My strategies for this semester are, always be on time, be prepared and have a clear mind, my reason for a clear mind is because I wonna come to school to focuse on what my lecture will be for that day, not focusing on if my husband took the kids a bath or threw the garbage out. My main strategie will be "STRIVE FOR THE STARS".

  7. My strategies this semester is to stay focused, on time, complete the work at hand, and ask for help when needed. I want to do everything in my power to get thru this semester, so I can get the feel of it and know what's expected for the years to come in college. I waited 10 years to finally come back and get a degree. Quitting is not an option for me.

  25. The three strategies I’m going to be using this semester is to be on time, listen and learn. You cannot listen to the main topic of the day, if you not going to be on time. Therefore, you will not be able to comprehend properly and learn from it.

  26. Fatima,
    Being on time for class is very important because it sets the tone for the rest of the class. If you are late for class you will miss valuable notes and announcements. Good points.

  27. Ray,
    I agree that you need to stay focused. Commit yourself to the class and your work and make sure nothing gets in the way of that. Own it.

  28. Ilda,
    Setting a schedule and knowing where you are going to do your school work is important. You need to find a place that is quiet and with few distractions. Good ideas.

  29. To Everyone,
    You all had some great ideas and strategies for how you are going to succeed. There are some that I think everyone should consider.

    1. I will ask for help when I need it.
    2. I will come prepared.
    3. When I am absent I will take responsibility and get my work that I missed before the next class.
    4. I will submit my papers to E-Tutoring or go to the writing and math labs for help.
    5. I will use the word processor before sending emails and anything that others will read.

    Number five is important. You need to proofread and you need to run spell check. Check out some of your blogs above. There are some big sentence construction errors that need to be caught/corrected.

    Now let us all commit ourselves to this class and all the doors that it can open.

    Attendance and punctuality are the key to success. These two things can cause confusion, behind playing catch up. So, your comment is 100% right.

  33. The three strategies that I would use to succeed in this class would be have a good attendance, be a good listener during the class and do all my assigments on time. I think is important to be in every class that you can possably be in because this way you would never have to be wondering what you are doing in class. Moreover, be a good listener during the class would definetely help in every assigments given. In brief, I would definately try to get my assigments on time because I am not good in making up assigments after due time.
