Succeeding in ASU

There are many ways to succeed in ASU. The most important step you will have to take is knowing how to manage your time. Another step is attend class, not only physical but mentally as well. Finally introduce yourself to all your instructures.

Managing your time is very important at all times, not only because im saying it but all your instuctors will say it as well. For example my MAT 117 teacher she is always telling me "Jazmin if you want to succeed and get good grades, know how to manage your time and you will live in college." Managing your time is not only for your homework and study time it is also managing time for yourself. For example knowing when you are going to have time to hang out with your friends etc. If you manage your time you will succeed in ASU.

Attending class is a must, not only physical but mentally as welll. I know that there is some student who attend class but never pay attention which cause them to not know what is going on, DON'T do this! Always go to class and pay attention, ask questions when you don't get somenthing or need help; never hesitate to ask for help, I learned that they love when we ask questions because they know that we are interested on learning.

Feel free to introduce yourself by doing this it will help your instructor to get to know who you are. Also introducing yourself will help to have some resumes incase if you need any. It is very important to know your proffessors, thats why always read their syllabus and their office hours. In case if your shy, send them an email and introduce yourself even though I think it's better to do in person because they actually see your face.

As you already read, now you know that managing your time, attending class and introducing yourself to the instructures are some steps you will have to take in order to succeed in ASU.
GOOD LUCK!

I've never thought to introduce myself to my instructors until I read your blog! That makes a lot of sense and is probably a really great idea.

I remember Ms. Shanly, she was a great professor. You are right though, getting to know your professors definitely makes one's experience in college more worth while.

I think attending class not only physically but mentally is such a great idea. If we are not there mentally than is there really a point of being there physically?

Definitely attending class physically and mentally is a must. Last week in my psychology class a kid was sitting watching a movie on his laptop with his earphones in. I was like, "really why are you even here?"

I agree. Going to class and managing time would make a successful student. Some professors don’t have attendance policy, so it’s tempting not to go to class but that would make the student miss work and fall behind. Also, there is a lot of homework in college so it’s important for students to manage their time effectively.

Great post! Time management is definitely the most important in success here at ASU. I also really liked what you said about attending class mentally, not just physically. There is really no point in going to class if we're not going to pay attention. We are here because we want to succeed. You make really good points.

I was really impressed how you reinforced that fact that academic integrity is a serious issue. It is not something to take lightly because of the consequences that may occur.
