Graduation Club
Leaving Orientation you probably felt a bit overwhelmed. Were you anxious about your classes and your time-management skills? You're not alone! You know what you're supposed to do to be successful, the trouble is motivating yourself to do those things! College will be filled with opportunities to get involved in lots of great activities. Sometimes those activities will seem a lot more fun than hitting the books, reviewing notes, or even going to class. We have something to help... GRADUATION CLUB!
Course Instructors will help students learn how to remain motivated and get the most out of their study time. The following issues are often problem areas for new students and will be discussed:
- Surviving your first weeks of classes
- Developing positive relationships with professors and advisors
- Time management success
- Getting the most from class participation and extra credit
- Memory techniques
- Test taking strategies
Making the Grade
"I learned a lot and my GPA proves it. I did so well first semester
that I was even offered a chance to be in JMU's honor program. I know I
wouldn't [have] done nearly as well as I did if I hadn't attended [your]
class."
- Graduation Club participant
Will this take a lot of time?
Each class will meet one hour per week for five weeks. Class begins the second week of classes. You won't need to spend a lot of time on class preparation for the Graduation Club, because you'll be using what you learn to prepare for all your other classes. Pretty good deal!
