Oh yeah becareful - some profs have written their own books or contributed to some - which they put on their required reading lists.....I was tricked by that one in my first year :(

If there are industry standard books (mine was the CP Style Guide) ... invest in those don't worry about the basic math and english texts you'll never use them beyond first year.

At the range!!!
Re-write your lecture notes when you get home, you'll never forget them that way. I had to do this because it looked like I was riding a horse when I wrote them.

Maybe I missed it, what course are you taking???

Microsoft Office, with Word, Excel and Powerpoint will definately be needed, especially if your taking courses in business. It's a real drag to have to use the open access labs at school.

Miss V. is back to school..........

I teach at University and all the suggestions you received above are good ones! I would only add, be aware of 'plagiarism,' and its' consequences.

I would be happy to assist you at no cost in helping you to create a 'bibliography,' footnotes,' and for developing the right research skills and strategies for completing great assignments.

The only thing I ask is that you provide the chocolates next time......LOL! (inside joke).

Hey Miss Valentine...

...CONGRATULATIONS!...

For your SPECIFIC situation (i.e. back to school after a long period), you need to get FOCUSED and ORGANIZED.

What are all the services offered by the school?
Get the course outline for every class and use this to figure out all your supply needs.
Go to the "guidance" office/online and get notes/material on proper study methods.
Create a timetable displaying lecture times, labs and study.
Be very selective about who you make friends - choose responsible, mature, smart and reliable people.
Join a club/group - you need to enjoy the whole college experience.
What is your scholastic path - that is, what are all the courses you will need to graduate?
Are there Co-op opportunities?

I was recently accepted into a fulltime college program (Go Vanessa Go!)...
For this September? I thought colleges gave out acceptances by mid-summer.

Anyways, if you just want to pass, all you'll need is a short skirt and thigh-high stockings. If you want to learn, check the other posts. If you need a tutor, send me a PM :).

I have an extra HP12c for sale if you need it. :)
I also have two HP's kicking around (somewhere).

Vanessa will have to learn RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) though, so who's gonna teach her?

HP12C - the RPN will drive most people crazy. If you want a good, simple business calculator, I recommend the Sharp EL733A. It's the most popular one that I see among students, followed by the TI-BA II Plus.

I forgot to mention that at most colleges and universities, students can buy the full MS-Office for about $100. Go for it, you'll get full value.

Here's the way to do it:

With your books - read the first and last sentence of each paragraph. Read the first and last paragraph of each chapter.

Get old exams from the years prior.

Study backwards - basically researching the exam questions, and then learning that way.

Bingo - you're done in half the time with half the effort.
...and when we set questions that expect that you actually learn the material, it is lazy bums like you that whine and complain.

Look, you're paying all this money to get an education, why take shortcuts? You're cheating yourself.

Would you go to an SP, take off your clothes, then go off and do somethiing else for 45 minutes and come back just for the orgasm? You're F'ing away your education the same way.

Hey guys, do you really expect Vanessa to tell you what program and college she'll be attending.

Most of the answers are great, not too many smart-assed ones which translates into a lot of respect for this lady. I especially liked Alexa Taylor's, don't give up when the going gets tough, just think about walking up to board once the exams are finished and seeing how well you've done.

I also like the idea of reviewing your notes at the end of every day (sounds good, but its very, very hard to do, especially when you've got other stuff going on in your life). Try to review your notes once a week.

A notebook is another great idea, how good of a typer are you. I went from eight to fourty eight WPM thanks to the typing tutorial "Mavis Beacon teaches typing". A notebook at college is only good if you can type fairly fast.

As mentioned, Word, Excel and Powerpoint are a necessity. Another good time saver Vanessa is a PIM (Personal Information Manager). One of the best, as far as I'm concerned is the Daytimer Organizer 98. It gives you an address book, a scheduler and a task list where you can organizer your assignments by priority. Its very user friendly and I'm sure a copy could make its way to you if ya like, just ask.

GOOD LUCK -Go Vanessa Go!!!
