Participation

Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that students who participate in their classes earn higher grades than students who do not. Participation—in class discussion, in group work, in campus activities—will improve your chances of academic success.

There are a variety of ways in which you can participate in your own education. You can

          --> ask questions or volunteer answers during class discussions.

            --> take notes.

            --> study outside of class.

            --> make an appointment to see your professors outside of class to talk about class materials, an upcoming assignment, or an on-going project.

 
            --> organize or participate in study groups before quizzes and exams.

 
            --> complete and turn in every assignment on time.
