Emotionally, students feel excitement and nerves about new freedom but responsibilities. Socially, it's important to develop relationships and join clubs or groups. Financially, students must learn money management and many get jobs. Academically, there is more competition and students must dedicate more time to studying, assume responsibility for learning, and develop time management skills. The document emphasizes the importance of balance, making gradual changes, and being a well-rounded student involved both inside and outside the classroom.
Course Selection
The document provides advice on selecting courses in college by discussing factors to consider such as required versus elective courses, balancing course load and other commitments, choosing professors, creating a course plan, knowing when to withdraw from a course, and maintaining good academic standing. Students are encouraged to meet with advisors to determine required courses, prerequisites, and course offerings, and to get recommendations on professors. Careful course scheduling and tracking of GPAs are also presented as important aspects of successful course selection.
Major Decisions
The document discusses selecting a college major and provides information to help with this decision-making process. It describes six personality types and gives examples of the types of tasks and activities that may appeal to students with each personality. The document also lists examples of activities and tasks that relate to different potential majors in the realistic, investigative, social, artistic, enterprising, and conventional fields. Finally, it provides tips for choosing a major, such as assessing strengths and interests, exploring college course catalogues, and utilizing available information resources.
You're in the Big Time Now
College is different from high school and requires more responsibility, harder coursework, and longer hours of studying. To be successful, students need self-discipline, motivation, and a plan for managing their time, priorities, and studying. College differs from high school in having a greater responsibility, different class structures and instruction, a faster pace, and fewer but more important exams and grades. It is important for students to get off to a good start by going to class, taking a balanced course load, and staying aware of their academic status.

Discover the Simplified Electron and Muon Model: A New Wave-Based Approach to Understanding Particles delves into a groundbreaking theory that presents electrons and muons as rotating soliton waves within oscillating spacetime. Geared towards students, researchers, and science buffs, this book breaks down complex ideas into simple explanations. It covers topics such as electron waves, temporal dynamics, and the implications of this model on particle physics. With clear illustrations and easy-to-follow explanations, readers will gain a new outlook on the universe's fundamental nature.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

- 3. WHAT DO PROFESSORS DO EXACTLY? Professors have obligations that go far beyond teaching. Many of those obligations go beyond the classroom and are often carried out away from the office or even off campus. Most faculty at four-year colleges are expected to “engage in creative activities.”

- 6. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR PROFESSORS Do your “homework” before class Before going to class on the first day, check to see if your professor has a webpage. Web pages often present a less formal image of your professor than you will see in class. You can often find information regarding their position, degrees, and colleges they attended. Their hobbies and other interests are sometimes included as well.
- 7. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR PROFESSORS CONT’D The better you know your professors, the less uncomfortable or afraid you’ll be to ask for help. You will also be more likely to succeed in the class if you have a good relationship with your professors.
