1. HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL
IN YOUR COLLEGE
CLASSES
By: Kayla Swain
2. AN INCOMING FIRST YEAR STUDENT IS USUALLY:
•Anxious and worried about success in their
college classes
•Excited about what the school has to offer
3. I AM HERE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR SUCCESS IN YOUR
COLLEGE CLASSES AND IMPEDE YOUR WORRIES BY
USING THE FOLLOWING STRATEGIES:
• Procrastinating
• Using your head
• Skipping Class
• Lessening your notetaking skills
• Partying
4. PROCRASTINATING
• Complete all of your assignments as close to the due date as
possible
• It is one of the most effective strategies
• You will be able to make straight A’s
• You will have the work ethic and grades to join the honors program
or professional school
• Everyone who graduated from college procrastinated and you
should too
• Ex. Start your chemistry progress check at 9:55 p.m. since it is due at
10:00 p.m.
5. USING YOUR HEAD
• Do not keep an agenda just keep information including due dates about all of your
classes in your head
• You will feel much more relaxed and sane
• When you have so many assignments to finish in one week this strategy is usually helpful
• You will forget about homework in your classes
• College is just like high school so if you forget to do your homework you will receive an
extension
• You will be given more time to finish the homework you’ve been procrastinating on since
you will be given an extension
• It makes college much easier for you since you will no longer have pressure to
complete assignments
6. SKIPPING CLASS
• You will be able to have more time to procrastinate on homework
• Lecture halls do not take attendance
• The lecture notes are useless
• Sleeping in is more important
• It has been proven a success in Psychology 1101 that skipping class
correlates with higher grades
• You just need to know the due dates of the assignments so you can
procrastinate on completing them.
7. LESSENING YOUR NOTE TAKING SKILLS
• More rest in class because all college students need sleep
• The notes are useless for a future test
• It makes a difference between a higher grade and a lower
grade in a class (If you can guess which one?)
• It ends up becoming a positive situation in the long run
since you get better grades and more rest
8. PARTYING
• Correlates with being a well rested and attentive student in class
• Positively impacts your grades since it gives you a sharper mind
• Go downtown six days out of the week
• It gives you the energy to procrastinate on all of your homework in your college classes.
9. TO CONCLUDE:
•The less work you are putting into
college is the better. You shouldn't
have to work hard to become
successful in your college
classes…right?
