From the Committee on Academic Standing Lack of student engagement Not attending classes, tutorials, etc. Failure to understand academic regulations Taking too many courses, not dropping courses Not taking university (engineering) seriously Working too many hours (part-time job) Connecting mathematics and science to engineering and computer science applications No sense of community with students and the Faculty
Advice Attend EVERYTHING (lectures, labs, tutorials etc.) Review lectures weekly DO every assignment, lab etc. AHEAD of time Math courses: aim for 5 additional practice problems a day ITI1120: aim for 5 additional practice programs a week At the end of each week: if there is any aspect of lecture or any problem or program you cannot do easily GET HELP! Organize weekly group study sessions to compare progress and learn from each other Join SESA! Leverage all course resources listed on slide 10
