HOW TO MAKE YOUR FIRST YEAR AT DARTMOUTH A LITTLE EASIER You will encounter so many new faces, rules, and expectations that can be a little overwhelming.
Here are a few "practical" tips for success:
1. Take good notes in class and review them "BEFORE" you do your homework.
2. Turn in "ALL" homework on time. (Late or missing work can really impact your grades.)
3. Study for "ALL" quizzes and tests (Studying with a friend and/or a parent can be great resource).
4. Always ask questions in class, especially if you don’t understand a concept. (If you still cannot grasp a concept, don't panic! Sometimes it just takes a little longer, a little more effort or a little more review.)
5. Be willing to stay in during break, lunch, or after school, with your teachers to get help, whenever they are available.
6. Always remember to smile, laugh, and have fun! (Learning is a lifelong process, it should be enjoyable.)
