Graduation Tips
What do I need to Graduate?
In the big meeting in the morning of your Orientation, I will cover your graduation requirements in detail, so that you have a big picture about your degree.
I will touch on some highlights now, to set the ball rolling.
A couple of tips about college classes:
- a semester lasts 15 weeks
- you take a course for one semester, then you have completed that course or requirement
- thus each semester, you start off with new courses, unlike high school where you take subjects for a year
- the amount of information you learn in one semester is comparable to a whole year of high school work!
A couple of tips about college professors:
- they expect you to come to class prepared, having completed the prior day's assignments, readings, etc.
- they expect you to come to class on time, and ready to begin the moment the class start
- they consider you an adult
- they may not take roll, except at the beginning of the semester
- in high demand courses, they will drop you from the class on the
first day for non-attendance.
