Keys to Success
 Come to class on time
 Actively engage with the instructor and classmates
 Start homework early so you have time to ask questions and get help
 Form a study group or work together
 Get a good night’s sleep
 Don’t be afraid to speak up if you don’t understand something (you’re often
in good company)
 Make use of Canvas discussion boards and study groups
 Meet the students next to you now
