  10. What is Engineering & Computer Science?

  11. Learning Requires . . . . Repetition, discussion, practice • Create a study group • Make sure everyone in the group can do everything • Never put your name on something that you did not do • Attend instructor office hours / Go to Help Desks • Introduce yourself and talk about the course • If you don't have a question, just come and listen • Do homework that is assigned • Make sure you can do anything (not just the questions that were on the assignment.)

  12. Studying & Time Management • Plan your week • Schedule time for every course • Don't delay things that are difficult • Plan for the unexpected • After everything is done: Schedule in a little (not a lot of) fun time
