create your Website. Next, determine what you intend your Website for by pressing one
‘of the buttons next to your choice. Glick on each box that indicates how you heard
about GeoCities. Enter the ‘Verification Key,’ which is the letters and numbers that

‘Build Website Now’ button to create your site using Yahoo's Sitebuilder application. This
program helps you create your Website even if you have no experience with coding or
programming, Finally, click the ‘Submit’ button once you've finished making changes
With Sitebuilder, and your Website will reflect the changes you've made.

12 Steps to Becoming a Great Student
|
Come to class and pay attention. This one should be a no-brainer. If you m |
e-mail your professor in advance and explain your situation. When youre in class, be vst
attentive; let your professor know you're in the room. ‘
Learn to balance your studies and your job. Your job is not an end in itself but a mean for you
to go to university. To confuse those priorities is to defeat the very purpose of being here.
Be prepared in advance for all of your assignments. This is called “studying”. Get used to doing
it; itwill be your primary activity for the next four years.
Read sitting up (not in bed), with a pencil to mark up the text. A clean text is an unread one.
Whenever the professor reads a passage out loud, mark it if you haven't done so already. It
may be on the next test
Find a quiet and regular place to study. This is your special sanctum, for that purpose only.
Don't eat, fisten to music, or entertain your friends there.
Study in sessions of no more than an hour, and then take a break. Three sessions of fifty
Minutes each week is better than three hours at one sitting. A general rule is two hours of study |
time for each hour of class.
| 7. Finish your papers several days early so you'll have time to revise them. Go to the Writing
Center if you need help. Read your paper out loud to a friend; you'll be surprised how many
mistakes you catch.
8. Know your professors’ office hours and take advantage of them. Talk to these people. They
have an interest in helping you succeed.
9. Go regularly to the library; knowledge is in books, not on Wikipedia. Consider your college
education is a bibliography for the rest of your life
10. Find an appropriate social outlet. The best students are well-rounded. A social outlet is not, |
however, a wild nighton the town. Join campus organizations or watch free on-campus movies. |
‘Check the school newspaper for events happening both on campus and in the community. |
41. Begin studying for an exam a week early. Lear proper test-taking skills, e.g. write identifications |
in complete sentences; make sure your essays have thesis and topic sentences; if you have a |
choice of topics, choose the one(s) that will show the breadth (not just depth) of your knowledge; |
and proofread your exam papers before submitting them. }
42, Enjoy yourself. This should be, literally, the time of your life.
