You
may assume that you've covered your obligations as a student
by paying for the course, buying the textbooks, attending
lectures, and studying. But there are additional steps
you can take to enhance your education. This advice is
adapted from material prepared by Thomas F. Wolff, P.E.,
Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies, at Michigan
State University. He reminds the incoming freshman class
that the proactive student who takes initiative on his
own behalf will get the most from his college years. The
extra effort will yield invaluable benefits.

You
should take advantage of the instructor's office
hours and ask questions there. |
|
Discuss
the material with your classmates, after class time. |
|

tutoring from an upperclassman. |

the library and look at some additional books. You
may prefer a different author. |
