The new semester is here and some of you are not excited even a single bit knowing what awaits them out of the results. Some are expectant of great results while others know what awaits them. Here are some of the fine tips you might want to equip yourself with to avoid retakes this semester.
- Allocate more time to your reading
The vice of partying, relaxing or chopping lectures Monday to Monday will only worsen your grades and you’ll surely end up regretting. You should by now know your stand and plight thus you’ve got to sober up and give more time to your reading even when you have a very juicy party plot. A measurable four hours daily of dedicated personal reading is at least an ideal time for you to have a firm grip of core concepts. (Kindly do this with your mobile-data turned off because of the obvious)
- Maximise group discussions
It has been measured and certified that “No man is an Island” and with combined efforts immensely awesome results can be produced. Well quit being the selfish or proud chap and chip in on that discussion because you might as well get a concept clearly explained by a fellow student better than a lecturer would have imparted it in you. Discussions are ideal for you and 2-3 a week can surely make you kiss retakes goodbye.
- Make the library your hangout spot
There are a few people who have never stepped foot in the Library in your course but have never seen retakes or close to any. Likewise you’ve done the same but still having many of those retakes and survival marks that make you miss a retake by a whisker. There are various ways to hit success at campus and making a library your hangout spot should be one of them if you are to elude a retake. Because we are never equal intelligence wise, you’ve got to exploit all avenues of your potential. So use the Library this semester.
- Befriend the ‘wisemen’ in your Course
Mathematics is hell to you and yet the chap that would have helped you overcome your weakness is one you detest or find uncool. Simply put your ego aside and befriend the chap and say goodbye to the lousy marks you have been getting. Have a fine network of academic friends who will help you overcome that course unit that is hell to you.
- Be a good time keeper
Appearing for lectures late just to have people ogle and admire at you fine attire is your own loss and not theirs. You waste a lot of time making up or doing nothing and you end up appearing for lectures or discussions late. Well this only can stop if you are to have a better time plan and be in the good books of time accuracy. This way, a fine mind will be able to have knowledge enriched to the fullest. A word to the wise is enough.
There you go, adhere to the above tips and retakes will be history!
