Student to Student: Tips for success
|
Connect with your faculty professors early on in your major. Having a faculty mentor is extremely helpful, and it opens up opportunities for research experience in their labs. It's also great to have that support system, but you have to reach out. Do make use of office hours, professors genuinely enjoy conversing with you and helping you through any of your stumbling points. Dulce Robles-Martinez, Class of 2020 |

Balancing and personalizing your class schedule is key to having a successful semester. Think about your school-life schedule and remember the additional time you will spend preparing for the lab and assignments. Peer relationships are so valuable!! Groups studying is such an effective strategy to enhance your learning. Find a friend or a group of people that you feel comfortable studying with. Also build relationships with the CSTEM faculty by going to office hours and asking questions in class. Shadi Paydar, Class of 2020 |
