Common Freshman Mistakes Three Common Types of Students
1 . Study Skills – Some students have not fully developed study skills in high school and struggle to learn how to study effectively.
Treat
1. “Disengaged” Learner - Doesn’t come to class. Doesn’t do homework. Doesn’t prepare for exams. Basically is starving themselves of learning.
2. “Binge” Learner – Tries to finish HW at the last minute.
2 . Assistance – Some students are not accustomed to advocating for themselves and asking for help because they never needed to in high school or
First-Year Engineering.
3 . 2
ND
Year Transition – Most students recognize and successfully make the transition to college, but many fail to see the 2 nd
year transition. The concepts are all new and the workload takes a notable step up.
Classes
Like a Job
Arrive to campus early; stay on campus all day; when not in class go to the Library or a Student Common’s
Attends class but is not truly engaged in learning.
Crams for exams at the last minute. This student may even have some success, but what little they learn doesn’t stick. They are not truly focused on learning.
3. “ Healthy” Learner – Attends and is fully
Area to work on homework.
Prep for Finals engaged in class. HW done in advance giving ample opportunity to ask questions and truly learning.
Exam preparation is likewise done in
Same as prepping and debriefing for Exams (below); pick up graded final exam to check for grading errors.
Debrief on Exam Results
Secure copy of exam solution; meet with Prof. to review; submit re-grades as needed.
Prep for Exams
TAs, etc.).
Other Sources of Assistance
Recitations/Help Sessions advance taking full advantage of all available resources (peers, faculty,
Tutorial Rooms
Faculty/TA Office Hours
Tutors
Peer Success Coach
Request sample exams; work with peers; attend any and all help sessions; utilize faculty/TAs office hrs.
Do All Homework
Homework = Practice; use resources (TAs, faculty, peers); seek a personal tutor if having great difficulty.
Attend Every Class
Sit in front row; introduce yourself to Professor; fully participate.in class
