First of Semester Note:
Welcome Back!
I hope that you enjoyed your (Winter Break/Summer Break, etc.)! As you begin a new semester
here at UCA, I have a few things I would like to share with you.
v Getting R.E.A.D.Y. for the (Spring 2014) semester:
o REFLECT. Reflect on what happened during the fall semester
§ What did you do? What did you not do?
·
Write it down if it helps
o EVALUATE. Evaluate what happened during the fall semester
§ What lessons did you learn from your experiences?
§ What can you do different that will improve your grades?
o ASSEMBLE. Assemble information and resources that will help you succeed
§ Find resources on campus (The Writing Center, Academic Success Center,
etc.)
§ Take the VARK survey in your BearBook! (page 36)
o DESIGN. Design a plan to help you succeed
§ Figure out what works best for you (buy a planner, study in the library, go to
class, study with a friend, divide your study time into shorter periods, etc.)
§ Establish rewards for yourself if you follow the plan!
o YES. Yes you can do it!
§ Become your own cheerleader!
§ You have a purpose in your life and it’s your time to shine!
You Are Responsible For Your Success! And I am here to help in any way that I can!
As always, contact me if you have any questions!
