Top Ten, Part 2

7. Ask for Help when You need it
A lot of students, especially freshman, come to school thinking this is finally their break for independence and that they can do anything alone. Some students waste a lot of time looking at homework they think they understand because they are too stubborn to ask for help. That's why teachers and tutors are there! You'll save time by getting the answer quicker. Just remember, asking for help is smart not stupid. 

8. Plan in Advance 
Making lists and keeping a schedule helps many students stay on track. They will know when they need to do certain things, and if they plan in advance this can help with double-booking which leaves to more stressful situations. Also, making to-do lists is a good organizational skill to have which also might lead to good skills to have in a work-place environment.  Making lists isn't time consuming to say the least. I have found it effective to just add to a list if it's sitting next to my desk. If students get side-tracked while working on homework and remember something they have to do- it's right there at your fingertips!
