What is a session, and should we be afraid of it? How to pass the session: tips for freshmen How do I pass the session.

The first session for the student is marked by all sorts of discoveries. This is both experience and practice. But at the same time, every student is haunted by an incredible fear of the first session. Let in the future you will have to take exams many more times and pass all kinds of tests. BUT it is the first session that can become special for the student.

As a rule, the first session begins at the end of November. Autumn terrible weather adds to the tragedy of what is happening. a constant sleepy state does not allow you to concentrate, and student life still prevents you from sitting down for textbooks. But it’s worth overpowering yourself and starting to “be a student” in the full sense of the word. It would seem that the session - what's so terrible? However, many first-year students are terribly afraid of the first session, because. clearly do not imagine what it is and what it is eaten with. Next, we will tell you in detail about the tricks that will help you become a real student.

The first secret is study

The first secret is that you need to study for gaining knowledge, and not for evaluation. If you make it a rule from the very beginning of your studies at the university that you need to gain knowledge at a university and only occasionally play the fool (it’s absolutely impossible without this, since student years are the best years in a person’s life, well, or one of the most unforgettable), then you will never have problems with passing sessions. Also here you can give one more piece of advice, which is based on the fact that the student should perceive his education as a platform for his future, which will be directly related to his professional career. Of course, you can become a successful person without having a higher education at all. But since we are talking about students, we will vary the information from this point of view.

The second secret is preparation

You need to prepare for the exams in advance. We have sanctified this rule hundreds of times. But once again returning to it, it is worth considering that if you decide to become successful, then make it a rule for yourself that you need to prepare for exams on time. NEVER put things off until later. Even if you have the most limited time, try to take a few breaks in it to study. Advance preparation does not imply daily sitting behind books and continuous cramming. Perhaps someone is interested, but this is not for us, not for pragmatic people. The result is important to us, because, as we have repeatedly written in our previous articles, now everyone needs the result. How it was obtained is another question. You will be graded based on your performance. No one will ask you at the age of 21 what grade you had in the third quarter in the Russian language. BUT if you gain knowledge by memorizing information without fully understanding its meaning, then this may be an occasion to think about whether you have chosen the field of knowledge correctly at all.

To pass the first session, you need to be disciplined and responsible. If you do all the homework that you are asked, and, on top of that, you still go to almost all classes, then you are guaranteed a bonus in the form of an indulgence during the session. Teachers also notice all these little things. They immediately single out for themselves a group of students who behave more responsibly than others. That student who studies conscientiously, and not just pretends to study, always looks higher in the eyes of the teacher than the rest of the student mass.

That is, you must become someone who is different from the rest, but only for the better. Responsibility and discipline allows you to smooth out the difficulties of the upcoming session up to 50%. To put it simply, if you follow this rule, then you can not be afraid of the session at all. You can even count on the coveted assessment of the machine. If someone else does not know what it is, then we are ready to explain. Grade "automatic" - this is when you get a grade for the exam without any answer to the exam ticket

Summing up

WE told you about what rules and secrets will help you pass the first session. We also told you about what you need to do so that the first session does not seem so scary. This is a kind of formula and dogma that can become your key to success at the university. So, the secrets of passing the first session:

Study for knowledge, not for grades.
prepare in advance for the upcoming disciplines.
attend classes and do whatever you are asked to do.

These three simple rules will allow you to gain a foothold in your university and finally become a real student. If you apply these principles from the very beginning of your studies at the university, then you can be sure that you will successfully graduate from the institute, even, perhaps, with honors.

At the initial stage, the student will work for his record book, and only then it will work for him. So in the first courses, give all your best. This will only help you in the future. Do not think that if you are a first-year student, then there will be some concessions for you. Just the opposite. In the first year there will be a strict screening out of suitable and unsuitable children for training. It is at this time that most of the students are expelled. Someone leaves on his own, unable to withstand the onslaught of exams and educational material, and someone simply cannot pass all the necessary exams. So a freshman session is your university survival rate.

Everyone has long known that most students are preparing to pass the session on the last night, this process is popularly called - "until the roasted rooster pecks ...". Each of the students prepares in their own way: someone writes cheat sheets, someone crams, someone puts a textbook under the pillow at night, etc. This article will tell you how to pass the session, even if you have not studied anything. But remember, this is not a panacea.

How to pass the session successfully?

So, a few rules for those who at least attended lectures.

Don't procrastinate everything

You need to prepare for the session in advance. At least be prepared for every lecture. Knowledge will accumulate every day, albeit a little, but something will remain in your head, even if you don’t really try to remember. Record all lectures, it will come in handy. In addition, listen carefully to the teacher, and do not sleep at lectures - you will understand and remember more.

Relationships with teachers

Build good relationships with teachers:

don't be rude;
always say hello;
don't be late;
work in pairs;
ask questions;
be sure to remember all the names of the teachers.

In a word, describe yourself for teachers on the positive side.

Embrace the immensity

If the material is poorly absorbed, then only the most important topics can be selected from the topics. Learn definitions, formulas. And then you can use logic. There is also an optimal option - to learn difficult questions, and easy ones to read carefully.

Spurs have not yet been canceled

Don't give up spurs, write them. Writing cheat sheets helps to learn the material, because when you write, you mentally read and remember. Many teachers advise writing spurs before exams. If you decide to use spurs, be careful not to hurt yourself.

Get rid of excess

Before the session, take a walk in the fresh air more often. Don't overload yourself with redundant information like social media.

Miracles happen

You can also use signs. For example, someone has a lucky pen that can be taken to an exam or a test, someone believes that if you enter the audience on your left foot, you will definitely pass. If you are a believer, then before the exam you can go to church, pray and light a candle to Nikolai Ugodnik, an assistant to all students and pupils.

Before the exam, it is better to sleep well and come to it with a "fresh head"

Quick preparation

And now let's look at how to pass the session to someone who has not learned anything at all.

So, there's a week left before the session, and you don't know anything? Don't panic, it won't help. Gather all your strength into a fist and act.

Follow these tips and pass the session without problems. Good luck to you!

Learn the material and answer the examiner's questions, that is, prepare. Common knowledge, but almost never works. Having safely survived the semester, 95% of students are faced with a situation where they need to learn a mountain of tickets in just a few days. But this is also real: use the “3-4-5” technique, find an alternative presentation of lectures, use visual memory. Prepare notes and make your body remember as much information as possible. How exactly to do all this - we will tell further.

Preparation of the body and stimulation of memory

Do not rush to study at the same moment as you received the assignment or exam tickets. Prepare your body. The more efficiently your brain works, the more energy you receive from the inside - the more successful the preparation will be, the more you will be able to remember and not forget in the future.

What needs to be done for the body:

Get enough sleep and observe the daily routine (get up and go to bed at the same time).
Eat right - prefer foods rich in carbohydrates and vitamins to sandwiches and snacks.
Rest and, if possible, alternate activities - relaxing at the computer or watching a movie is not a good idea.
Squeeze more energy out of your body through regular exercise or a mandatory walk.
Work on mental stability, isolate yourself from anxiety and stress.

Capital truths. But almost no one follows these recommendations, not realizing the importance of preparing their body for classes during the examination session. But it is precisely his unpreparedness that is the main reason for the inability to remember the simplest formulas, rules, terms. It seems to you that you are doing everything right, but there is no result. The body simply refuses to learn. It's in your best interest to treat him with care.

Be sure to get 7-8 hours of sleep, or as much as you need. Sleep will not take your time, because you can master about 50% more material when you are awake than when you are tired and overwhelmed.

Can't sleep because of exams and potential dropout after getting a negative grade? Take a walk, drink warm tea with honey and try to relieve yourself of the burden of responsibility - it's just a session that you definitely won't pass if you don't sleep.

Eat more foods rich in fiber, complex carbohydrates and vitamins. Nuts, oatmeal, other whole grains, citrus fruits, and don't forget eggs. Eggs, by the way, are rich in choline, which improves memory and slows down the aging process.

Also, turmeric, a seasoning that is also part of curry, has a beneficial effect on memory. Nuts and cereals give energy, citrus fruits - cheerfulness. Chocolate will also help. The main thing is not to overeat. Energy should go to classes, not to digest food. Remove pies and sweets from the desktop, but tea and nuts can be left.

Finding motivation and developing a lesson plan

It would seem that there is motivation - it is necessary to pass the session. In fact, it's just the fear of failing and being expelled. You need real motivation. Remember the "bonuses" that are due to students who successfully passed the session.

First, it's a scholarship. Secondly, other rewards for excellent students. Thirdly, this feeling of freedom and a job well done is a euphoria that cannot be compared with anything else. Ideally, if you can give yourself a gift in case of a successful exam - a gadget, relaxation in some unusual place, or at least a holiday with friends.

What is it all for? For the effectiveness of training. It is really difficult to force yourself to learn every day - you can always postpone it until tomorrow or simply fail due to lack of desire. Motivation is needed to keep you engaged, not looking at wallpapers or chatting with friends on social networks.

No one will stand over you with a stick, no one will force you to teach. You have to show your will and it is much easier to do it with motivation than without it. Imagine that you are an athlete who goes to the Olympic gold. The session is your little war. And you must win. And you can do this if you earn victory through work.

Development of a preparation plan for the session

An obligatory stage of preparation for classes, which cannot be neglected. How to pass the session and tests perfectly if you do not have an action plan? A lesson plan is a plan of action. Each item in it is specific and measurable. Each part of the material has its own time period. You do not have to randomly look for what to teach now, and what can be left for later. Everything is structured and laid out on the shelves.

How to develop a preparation plan:

Structure all tests and exams by date.
Set a time limit for preparing for each subject.
If possible, add 12 hours of backup to this time.
Calculate your daily practice time.
Combine everything in a table.

As a result, you should get a rough idea of the time that will need to be spent on preparing for each subject, and a single schedule that must be followed.

Soberly assess your strength - hardly 10 minutes will be enough for you to learn each ticket. It is important to multiply the time spent on mastering by 2 - these hours will be spent on repetition and consolidation of the material. Such a schedule is recommended if you have at least 25-30 days to prepare.

Selection of the optimal training method

Planning. In this case, you make a schedule, calculate the number of hours needed for preparation, and bring everything into a single schedule. A classic method that is highly recommended for students who suffer from a lack of discipline and / or are accustomed to undergoing training in stages, systematically. You will know that you need to study at least, say, 5 tickets every day. You will see the final goal every day - this disciplines the student and often simplifies preparation, makes the process itself more transparent.

Repeat every other day. The essence of the technique is to start studying with the most difficult material, gradually moving to simpler tickets. At the same time, you need to repeat every day what you learned the day before yesterday. That is: on the first day you learn 5 tickets, on the second 5 more tickets, on the third day you learn 5 tickets and repeat 5 tickets that you learned on the first day. It is also necessary to leave at least 2 days for a second repetition: on the first day, you need to fix the first half of the studied tickets, on the second - the second, respectively.

Three four five. Here it is necessary to divide the preparation into three equal parts. For example, you have 3 days before a test or exam. On the first day, you need to read the material, try to understand it, that is, prepare for the "troika". In the second - to study the same tickets in more depth, to understand everything and learn the subject for the "four". In the third - to repeat all the same material, refresh the interpretation of terms in memory and prepare for the "five". This technique is ineffective for preparing for the delivery of "technical" subjects and laboratory work. But for theory and humanitarian subjects, it is quite suitable.

Visualization. Another fairly effective method is visualization. We need to visualize not only what we cannot remember, but also the structure of the material as a whole. The method is effective if you are preparing for a maximum of two subjects at the same time. It is best if the subject is one. First, we make notes on all the material: we write (if it is better to remember) or we mark the printouts with markers. At the same time, we write out everything that is difficult to remember (dates, terms, personalities, formulas) - large and neat, so that later we can hang it above the desktop. If this information is in front of your eyes every day, the chances of remembering it increase significantly.

Emergency measures: preparation in 1-3 days

How to pass the session well if there are only 1-3 days left for preparation? In this case, it is necessary to abandon the classic preparation algorithm with scheduling and phased preparation - you simply will not have time. We also refuse the idea of preparing at night - you must sleep at least 5-6 hours every day, otherwise the brain simply cannot work at 100%. How to pass the session if you don’t know anything, and there is very little time left:

Find lectures, abstracts, summaries.
Try speed reading or reading from corner to corner.
View ready-made solutions to problems and delve into the algorithm.
Make a brief summary - write out the main theses for each ticket.
Stimulate the brain with food and walks (oxygen).

We stock up on nuts, chocolate and citrus fruits (if they are not contraindicated for you), eat oatmeal in the morning and start learning.

We do not take any sedatives, let alone psychotropic drugs - it will only get worse.

If you do not have lectures and notes, try to find them on the Internet. If only textbooks are available, read quickly or from corner to corner, using the content and subheadings as beacons. In parallel, draw up a thesis summary - usually 5-6 very short abstracts for each ticket, as if an answer plan. It’s not worth learning on the last night - how to pass the session with excellent marks if your brain only wants to sleep and categorically refuses to work? So sleep well before exams.

Partial isolation . When I failed my exams in my freshman year, I immediately realized the error: I hadn't provided enough insulation. You can't prepare well if you're constantly distracted by conversations with friends, social media, and watching YouTube videos. Isolate yourself from anything that steals time.
Need to sleep . It's not the first time we've talked about this. Here is the opinion of the researchers: well-rested students are often able to remember 3-4 times more information than those who did not sleep the previous night. Why torture yourself if you still lose? Be sure to get enough sleep.
Write notes . Even if you have lectures, even if the process of writing does not help you remember information, write anyway. Better not detailed, but abstract - 5-7 key theses from each ticket. Based on these notes, check yourself and answer in detail, repeat.
Avoid sedatives . If you are not haunted by panic attacks and sedatives are not prescribed by a doctor, do not take them. Healthy anxiety is normal. Fight it with relaxing music, walks, chocolate and faith in your own success. Sedatives can disrupt the brain.
level the problem . The session is not the problem. This is a normal workflow. Despite its importance, you should not make a tragedy out of what is happening. Even if you are expelled, it will only be a solvable problem. Do not wind yourself up, do not create tragedies in your head.
Prepare the body . Eat choline-rich eggs, complex-carbohydrate cereals, nuts, and invigorating citrus fruits to fuel your brain. Walk, giving the body more oxygen. Let your body rest with a change in activity - if you taught, then dance, chat with friends, the main thing is not to sit at the same computer.
stimulate memory . Trust yourself and try to test as often as possible while rehearsing for the exam. Answer on tickets without peeping into notes and textbooks. Do memory exercises. Make response plans that are easiest for you to reproduce the material.
Find motivation . It is she who forms the basis of discipline in preparing for the exam. Imagine how you will feel after passing the exam, what bonuses you will receive. Recognize the need to do work that can influence your future success and make it more achievable.
Follow the plan . Preparation is impossible without a good plan. If by “doing” you mean something abstract and you don’t know how much material you need to learn today, then the task becomes much more complicated. The process itself becomes chaotic, the order of preparation is lost.
Avoid "tricks" . Cheat sheets should be written only if it helps you remember the material better. It is not recommended to use them on the exam. As well as earpieces or telephones, the probability that everything will go smoothly tends to zero. At the same time, excitement can knock you down and prevent you from answering the ticket, even if you have excellent knowledge.

How to pass the session on the 1st course

In terms of the level of material, the first session of the student is the simplest, but emotionally the most difficult. You have never taken exams in this format, teachers probably scared you with expulsion, and the colossal amount of material for the semester simply did not fit into your head. Hence the fear, panic, lack of a plan of action. How to pass 1 session in this case.

As exams approach, many feel insecure. Sleepless nights, long kilometers of cheat sheets, stress and a state of panic. How to avoid all this and how to find the motive that will really help you prepare for exams.

Here are some tips to help you get through the prep stage successfully:

Don't leave everything to the last minute

Leave enough time to prepare for the exam so that you do not have to read all the material on the last night. This approach will allow you to thoroughly prepare for the test and reduce stress, as you will know that you have spent enough time preparing and know the material well.

Calculate how many days you have left before the exam, and distribute the lectures so that you have an equal number of tickets for each day. Leave one day before the exam to review all the material.

Motivate yourself by competing with yourself. Set the task to learn a certain number of tickets, check the boxes next to each ticket you read, and if you managed to learn everything that you planned in a day, be sure to reward yourself for it.

Recreation - yoga, exercise, dancing

To avoid overwork, in the process of preparing for the exam, do not forget about the rest. As soon as you notice that you are losing attention and are tired of taking in information, take a short rest. After you return to your studies, you will feel rested and ready for further repetition of the material.

While relaxing, try yoga exercises, breathing techniques, or other ways to relax. Such exercises will help you relieve tension, increase concentration and attention, and improve sleep.

Write cheat sheets

Cheat sheets may not be useful on the exam, but they will certainly give you confidence. And visual memory will help to better assimilate the material. In addition, writing cheat sheets forces you to formulate thoughts more briefly, look for the most important thing, structure your knowledge, and formulate them in a generalized form.

Don't drink too much coffee

Don't drink too much coffee, tea, and carbonated drinks. Caffeine will only excite the brain more and make it less receptive to information. Eat more often and in the right way. During intensive mental work, 4-5 meals a day are recommended. It is very important to eat fresh plant foods - vegetables and fruits.

Attend classes throughout the semester

Be active throughout the semester. The main thing that students forget about is that regular attendance of lectures eliminates the need to learn the entire course in a few days. Being active in class increases your chances of getting an automatic exam.

Be sure to get enough sleep before the exam

Try to go to bed early to sleep and feel good. It's good to take a short walk before bed. The last night before the exam is better to devote to rest and repetition of difficult topics, rather than cramming new material. It is better to come to the exam early. 15 minutes before the start of the exam, skim through the textbook and remind yourself of terms or difficult words that you are not sure about.

Avoid sedatives

Do not take any medication. During the exam, it is necessary to mobilize all the reserves of the body, and sedatives can interfere with this.

Keep Your Confidence

Keep your confidence. In order not to stutter or swallow words on the exam, use introductory constructions when talking with the teacher. For example: “I believe that ...”, “the author apparently wanted to say that ...”, “as far as I remember ...”, etc. The main thing is not to be silent, but confidently demonstrate your knowledge.

How to prepare for the exam?

Don't leave everything until the last day. Distribute the number of tickets for each day.

Don't forget about rest. Take breaks (yoga and exercise, biking, dancing, swimming, tennis, other games).

Write cheat sheets. They will give you confidence, and visual memory will help you better absorb the material.

Don't drink too much coffee. Caffeine will reduce susceptibility to information. Eat balanced food enriched with vitamins.

Learn the main topics and terms. For them, you can get a satisfactory score even if you don't know your ticket.

Be active throughout the semester. Attend lectures regularly. This is a chance to get an automatic exam.

Why try to pass the exam?

Successfully passing the session will increase your scholarship, and you can buy yourself a long-awaited gift - a bag, a new phone, etc. In addition, passing the session perfectly gives you a chance to forget about the contract form of education. You will be able to transfer to the budget. Excellent grades are a chance to get a grant and scholarship at a prestigious university. In addition to all this, after passing the exam, you can relax and have a good vacation. You will not be expelled for poor performance in subjects, and you will not have to prepare for a retake when everyone is resting.

How to avoid pre-exam stress?

To avoid stress and its consequences, follow a few simple tips. Be sure to get enough sleep before the exam, do not take any sedatives, set yourself up for victory. Reassure yourself that nothing bad will happen. Start preparing for exams early. The sooner you start, the more confident you will feel. Talk to someone on the eve of exams. This support will also give you confidence.

If you came here for secret cheating techniques during a test or an exam, you will be disappointed. Cheat sheets and "bombs" are a road to nowhere and a consequence of a much more serious problem.

A person will not be able to take anything seriously and will not succeed until he answers himself to the main question: “Why do I need this?”

Having understood the importance and necessity of achieving the goal, you will strive for it with all your might, and you will no longer need any external additional motivation. Ask yourself this question until you get to the bottom of the truth.

Why are you studying? To get a crust? For what? To get a promising high-paying job? There, the truth will be revealed instantly, because any normal employer looks not at a diploma, but at real knowledge, skills and experience. So why? Parents decided that the offspring should definitely become a financier, although you are clearly drawn to coding? This is a very difficult situation, but there are at least two ways out of it:

Talk to parents. Explain to them that you are interested in something else, that you are doomed to a life that you do not want. Argument your desires so that your words do not sound like a whim, but like a deliberate, balanced decision. It is more than realistic to change the faculty and even the university. Yes, you can lose time, but it’s better to miss a year than to spend your whole life doing uninteresting work, regretting what you didn’t do and envying those who had the courage to realize their dream.
Combine. This option is the golden mean and often even better than changing the place of study and specialty. The real world is arranged in such a way that a specialist in two areas has more opportunities than a specialist in one. Take the example of the social and technical sciences. Being a developer is good, but being a developer with expertise in human behavior is much better, as it opens the door to big data and similar extremely promising areas. Of course, it is difficult to receive two higher educations at once, but life in principle is not an easy thing. If the task seems impossible, ask yourself again: “Why do I need this?” Find the answer - find a way to achieve the goal.

Attitude towards the educational process

You won't have to catch up if you don't fall behind. Move according to the curriculum, and there will be no problems.

The probability of passing the session is determined from the first day of the semester.

Now it is extremely important for you to understand that you are not studying in order to pass tests and exams. You study to become a specialist, an expert, a professional in your field. The session is generally secondary. It is much more important to assimilate and learn to apply knowledge. In this scenario, everything surrenders by itself. You will not even notice the session, because, in addition to the university program, you want to absorb a ton of information on the side. This is much more interesting and useful than some tests and exams.

Yes, self-study is an integral part of a student's life. Our education system is imperfect, programs are often outdated, defective or not applicable in life. Thousands of certified theorists graduate from universities every year, but they do not know how to work. As a result, the employer has to teach them everything. Why? Because students approach education unconsciously, they do not understand what they are doing here and why.

Imagine that you are currently applying for a job in your specialty. Search the Internet for examples of test tasks and requirements for specialists in your field. Can you complete these tasks, do you meet the requirements? No? Well, now you clearly understand what you should know and be able to do.

If we talk directly about the process of gaining knowledge within the walls of a university, then there are several universal tips that seem banal, but always work:

Go to lectures, write and ask questions. So the information is well absorbed. If you have any questions feel free to ask them. It is very important not to allow a situation where you no longer understand what the teacher is talking about. If you cannot retell the content of the lecture after it is over, then something is wrong. Sit down at the abstract and figure it out, otherwise the next couple will get even worse, and then another, another and another. Clear formulas and terms will turn into meaningless icons and words.
Go to practice, complete assignments. So you will learn how to apply what you have learned. Nobody needs theorists.
Learn what's going on in your area of expertise in the real world. Your term papers and other papers should be relevant, useful, and solve the problems that humanity is dealing with today. All this will have a good effect on the teaching attitude towards you, and at the same time will go to the “Achievements” section of your first resume.

Useful tips to follow immediately before passing a test or exam and during:

Come to surrender, even if you are not ready at all. This is where probability theory comes into play. If you do not come to the test or exam, then the chance to pass it is zero. If you come to a test or exam without preparation, then there is a non-zero chance to pass the subject. How? The teacher may take pity and allow admission even without a completed curriculum. You may get the only question to which you know the answer. To put it simply, by appearing at the surrender, you can influence the situation, but not by appearing - no. In the eyes of the teacher, you have given up, abandoned your dream, and there is no point in helping you anymore.
Be the first to answer or the last to answer. Usually the most prepared go first, claiming the top five. If you have studied correctly, you should be among them. Answering among the latter, you run the risk of not getting the maximum mark, as the teacher is already tired, hungry and is no longer ready to spend extra time on a detailed check of your knowledge. The same state of the recipient of the subject can play into the hands of those who study incorrectly. The teacher will not dig deep and most likely will not even listen to your answer. Enough not to screw up on the first words, and C grade is almost guaranteed.
Write cheat sheets and "bombs", but not in order to use them. Repetition is the mother of learning. When creating cheat sheets and “bombs”, you will inevitably learn and repeat what you write at least somehow. Some of it will stick in your head. Roughly speaking, preparing for cheating without its subsequent application is a kind of preparation for surrender, and very effective.
Organize your preparation materials. If the answer to one question is scattered across three notes and two textbooks, then you will spend more time searching for information than learning and repeating it.

Attitude towards teachers and other students

The younger the person, the less conscious he is. Studying at school is torture for him, and the teacher is a tyrant. Such a distortion of perception disappears after a year and does not allow you to establish the right relationship with university teachers.

Understand one simple thing for yourself: the teacher is not an enemy, not a villain, not an adversary who is only looking for a way to fill up and expel you. Giving knowledge and checking the quality of their assimilation is his job. Your job is to acquire this knowledge, internalize it, and learn how to apply it. Otherwise, why are you studying?

It turns out that with the right perception, the teacher becomes your friend and you now have common goals. Accordingly, the relationship between you should be as sincere and honest as possible.

Ask the teacher the question: “What can I do to maximize my success in learning and passing your subject?”

So you show your consciousness, namely your interest in gaining knowledge, and at the same time you will be aware of the criteria and views of the teacher on the learning process. If you have problems, such as not being able to attend all couples, report them and find out how to compensate.

Ask the undergraduates for whom your teacher has already taught subjects. What are the features? What must be done? Is 100% attendance required?

Classmates, classmates and senior students are your friends. You can help them and they can help you. Maintaining friendly relations with colleagues in the shop is extremely important. You can do more if you stick together. Do not refuse to help others, but do not allow yourself to sit on your neck.

Self care, health and money

Students rarely think about their health. Why? Because the body is young and still works like a clock. He can do almost everything. You can party until four in the morning, sleep for three hours, come to the first couple and be a cucumber. It is difficult for a person to understand what he has not yet encountered, but then it will be too late.

Wrong way of life is now causing your body huge damage, often irreparable. While you do not notice this, but in the next 10-15 years everything will come back to you.

You “live to the fullest” and believe that this does not prevent you from studying effectively. In fact, you simply do not realize what you are capable of.

Pay attention to how much better you get if you just get a good night's sleep. How much additional strength and energy appears if you simply eat on time. Some students, trying to compensate for the unconscious approach to studying during the semester, turn to all kinds of doping during the session. This is the stupidest thing you can do on the eve of an important test or exam, especially if you have not dealt with this drug before. Do you know what side effects and individual intolerance are? At best, nothing will happen, at worst, a hospital and a failed session.

Calling young people to a healthy lifestyle is probably naive. You won't listen anyway. In this case, try to take our word for it and conduct a simple experiment: take food, sports and rest under control for just a couple of weeks and see what happens.

Follow the diet throughout the day. Learn the basics of nutrition and learn how to cook at least elementary healthy meals. Proper nutrition, which, by the way, is not necessarily expensive when cooked on your own, will give you energy and strength for productive study.
Add to your life daily morning exercises and 2-4 full-fledged workouts per week in addition to the university's physical education program. Choose any sport that you like. Running, football, tennis, gym, horizontal bars, swimming - it doesn't matter.
