It's that time of year again...time to review your course syllabi! Spend time this first week reviewing your syllabi and make sure you take note of:
*Your instructors contact information and office hours
*Exam dates
*Big projects
*Papers & assignments
*Attendance policy
Record that information in your planner, Google Calendar, phone-pick a method and use it consistently throughout the semester.
The Center for Academic Success and Transition (CAST) provides a downloadable tool called The Syllabi Matrix that allows you to capture the most important info from your course syllabi. You can get that HERE
