MORE TIPS FOR COLLEGE
GOING TO HIGH SCHOOL
SUCCEEDING IN COLLEGE CLASSES
The school year is 36 weeks long; some classes extend over both semesters and some don’t.
The academic year is divided into two separate 15-week semesters, plus a week after each semester for exams.
Classes generally have no more than 35 students.
Classes may number 100 students or more.
You may study outside class as little as 0 to 2 hours a week, and this may be mostly last-minute preparation.
You need to study at least 2 to 3 hours outside of class for each hour in class.
You seldom need to read anything more than once, and sometimes listening in class is enough.
You need to review class notes and text material regularly.
You are expected to read short assignments that are then discussed and often re-taught in class.
You are assigned substantial amounts of reading and writing, which may not be directly addressed in class.
Guiding Principle: You will usually be told in class what you need to learn from assigned readings.
Guiding Principle: It is up to YOU to read and understand the assigned material; lectures and assignments proceed from the assumption that you’ve already done so.

All Seniors – Please complete this form
and take it to the Counseling Center.
