Mid-term Madness...


Congratulations, you are half way through the semester! What a wonderful accomplishment.


This is a good to communicate with your instructors and ask them what grade you are receiving in class. You still have half the semester to raise that B to an A, or if you are not doing well, to improve.


Tips:


1. Ask your instructor what grade you are receiving. Make sure you give them time to average your grades and follow up with an e-mail or your preferred method of communication

2. Ask your instructor what you can do to improve your grade.

3. Do as your instructor suggests.

4. Take advantage of the CASA Tutoring Program. This is a free service that is provided to help you be successful. Call 737-3695 to schedule an appointment.

5. Avoid any unnecessary absences or tardies.

6. Communicate, communicate, communicate! If you have to miss class or be late, let your instructor know, and make arrangements to get notes from a classmate. Any material you miss is still your responsibility and attendance policies apply.
These simple steps should give you the information you need to make appropriate plans and decisions for the rest of the semester.


Let's make the second 8-weeks of the semester as successful as possible.
