1. Your first year (100level) in school
is the most important period of your stay. Hence, take caution in
selecting your friends and cliques. These friends will either make you
or mare your life.
2. Your first year
(100 level) is the best period to build a solid Grade Point (G.P) for
yourself as a new student. This is because some less complicated courses
(Introduction Courses) are done during your first year. You are less
engaged in school socio-political activities (these activities can pose
to be a great distraction). During your first year, lecturers are more
dedicated, patient and punctual.
3.
Participate in all group projects and assignments. Oftentimes, test and
examination questions are picked from assignments given.
4. Rent an apartment that is
close to your campus; sometimes you may be totally out of cash and
trekking down to class may be the only option available. Renting a house
that is a stone throw from school will save you unnecessary wastage of
money on transportation.
5. Ensure
you equip yourself with all study materials (textbooks, handout etc).
Some lecturers give extra marks if you buy their textbooks.
6.
Endeavour to attend all lectures; be punctual and attentive.
Attendance record may be taken unexpectedly; this fetches additional
marks for the lucky few.
7. Get a
reading partner or group in your department. Your reading group should
be different from your casual friends, it should be of mixed gender,
members of the reading group should take turn to teach and make the
class as interactive as possible.
8.
Map out your personal study time and habit to constant stick with it. It
is bad habit to constantly adjust your reading time to suit your
personal activities rather your personal activities should be adjusted
to suit your study time.
9. Take all assignments, quiz and test serious.
10. Study all past questions but do not rely on them alone, read your textbooks and notes as well.
#GoodLuck
