Pre-Health Orientation Three Important Pieces of Advice From: Carl P. Thum, Ph.D. Director, Academic Skills Center

1: Treat all Dartmouth science courses with great respect • More demanding • Ten week term • Moves quickly! High School Science ≠ College Science

2. Don’t rely on your high school learning strategies • (or lack thereof)

3. Learn new skills/strategies that will help you do well at Dartmouth

To help you do that: • Your professor/ office hour • Academic Skills Center • Individual academic “coaching” • Active learning strategies • Time management • Tutor Clearinghouse • Peer tutors • Study groups • ASC website • Streaming videos
