Common MistakesMade by Students
There are countless mistakes students make. This list of mistakes is not exhaustive!!
Source: IEEE Potentials July/August 2012Not attending classesNot buying the recommended textbook.Not doing the homework.Studying at the last minute.Not setting priorities.Not managing your time.Aiming low.Being overconfident.
32
Conclusion
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: Time Management
