What Pitt students say . . .

 

Q:  How do I keep up with the work load?

A:  Make sure you do work everyday—that is the key.  Stay on top of your assignments because it is easier to do an hour or an hour and a half of work a day than to be swamped at midterms and finals.  Also, look at the syllabus!!!  Don’t expect all of the teachers to remind you when and what assignments are due.

 

Q:  How can I be sure to manage my time as effectively as possible?

A:  There are many resources available to students such as academic workshops on study skills, the chance to meet with academic counselors (located in WPU) as well as student tutors; the writing center can be an effective way to pinpoint solutions to problems more quickly.

 

Q:  What can I do in class to assure that I absorb and understand the material?

A:  Participate!  This will ensure that you are following the class discussion and paying attention.  Also, if you can, print out PowerPoint presentations ahead of time.  That way you aren’t scrambling to write down each slide while trying to listen to the additional information the teacher has to offer.
