  30. There are countless mistakes students make. This list of mistakes is not exhaustive!! Source: IEEE Potentials July/August 2012 Not attending classes Not buying the recommended textbook. Not doing the homework. Studying at the last minute. Not setting priorities. Not managing your time. Aiming low. Being overconfident. Common MistakesMade by Students

  31. Remember that the first term (or two) is not a real reflection of your capabilities One skill is of primordial importance to succeed in any postsecondary program: Conclusion Time Management
