HOW TO GET A GOOD GRADE: LISTEN, MAKE NOTES, STUDY MY NOTES, REVIEW OFTEN

LEARN EVERYTHING in these NOTES as it will be on unannounced tests more than once.

Set time aside daily for study. This is a college level class. You are expected to spend at least 1 hour in preparation for each hour in class. If you do that you will get an A or B in this class, 4 nice college credits, and a nice reference if you ever need it but if you don't you will get an E.

Learn how to learn. Find what works for you. Learn how to take quick notes. When time is short use abbreviations for subject words. Example if lecture is on computers make a note c=computer then every time the professor says the word computer you can just write down a c. Leave out vowels when time is short. Later rewrite the notes while the lecture is still fresh in your head. To help you to learn and think do the following:

Learn to Ask the 6 learning Questions What, Who, Where, When, How and Why.

Always treat others as you would want to be treated yourself. This is the best way to get along with people. This is the best rule of human relations. (AKA Golden Rule) also Bring no harm to another by your actions or your inaction. You are responsible for treating the equipment and fellow students with respect and care. Treat the equipment as if it were yours because it is. You paid for it. No open containers of liquids.

Make a backup copy of all important work and notes on your flash drives. That is reason for 2 of them. A good copy is best insurance. Please shut off computer and monitor before you leave (required). Clean up any mess. If the room lights blink immediately note where your belongings are. The room may go black. Be prepared to leave if the lights stay out for over a minute. Fire: go out nearest safe exit. There are free tutors available for PowerPoint, Word, Excel and Access in the open Lab. If terrorist around, stay out of sight.

If you do not own MS Office, DO NOT BUY MS Office FOR THIS CLASS. Bring pen, paper, two USB flash drives, set of ear sound buds and your full attention to every class. Yellow ribbon handy to avoid loss. Put phone number on flash drive. Do not over rely on computers. Have a plan B if computer fails such as records on paper or CD or flash drive. Flash drives fail. Cloud storage is not always available.

Academic discussion is an important part of the college experience. Our graduates are to learn how to think competently, identify problems, approach them systematically, explore viable solutions evaluate reasoning , arguments, evidence and communicate competently. We will have just a few minutes of academic discussion at the start of each class in which you may raise any issues of importance.
