Problem No. 1: Cutting
classes. Many students
figure they can miss six, eight, 10 lectures in each course and still do well.
Problem No. 2: Overloading. Some student’s think it's a
point of pride to load up on as many courses as the college allows (five, six,
even seven a semester). And then they sign up for a double (sometimes even
triple) major and a minor to boot.
Problem No. 3: Overmedia-ing. Many college students spend hours and hours a day on
Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Then they complain that they don't have enough
time for studying and that they have trouble focusing on any content not dished
up in bite-sized pieces.
Problem No. 4: Procrastinating. Many students believe in "no work before its time."
They put off papers until the last possible minute and pull "all
nighters" right before the test.
Problem No. 5: Going it alone. Many students shy away from going to see their professor or
teaching assistant, either because they're too scared, they think the prof
won't want to see them, or they think you should only go when you're in
trouble. As a result, they end up blowing a test or paper when a few minutes
with the instructor could have easily cleared up the problem.
