4 Proven Tips To Help You Perform Better at Uni - Number 3 Would Shock You

 


A few days before you start University, you may start getting really nervous. Are you doing the right course? Have you got enough money for books? Will you get along with your new roommates? These are all valid worries, but there's no need to worry too much just yet. Remember - you've worked hard to get to this stage, and you're as ready as you can be! However, there are a few things you can do to ensure that you get off on the right foot (or should that be footies?) in your new school. Here are some tips to help you get ahead at university and make the most of your time there:

 

Tip 1: Get to know your lecturers early on

 

Of course, you're not going to get to know everyone on your course on the first day. However, it's always best to meet and get to know your lecturers as soon as you can. Not only will this help you to get to know them better, but it will also help you to stand out a bit among your peers, not just that it would also help you understand the style of your lectures and a few pointers that could help you in the course of your learning in the semester. Don't be scared to ask your lecturers questions, as this is the window to many opportunities for you to learn outside of the classroom, building you need a network of people to help you succeed in your future career goals.

 

Tip 2: Pay attention to other students' advice (especially students who have experienced the classes you are about to be taking)

 

 This will help you to make sure you get the most out of the lessons they have already taken those notes will be super handy later when you get stuck in on the first ones. They can as well share with you some past exams or test questions that can help you prepare for similar tests or exams in the future (time management is also very important and time management is a central aspect of almost every subject). Lastly, if you see that some of your friends are struggling with a certain lesson or topic in a tutorial, don't be shy about suggesting to them that you both take the same class together. It's much easier to learn with someone else when going through a course for the first time than it is to just do it alone.

 

Tip 3: Don't feel pressured to rush through everything.

 

Take your time when it comes to subjects you find less interesting at first, such as Maths and English. Have some fun with them! Read books, watch shows on YouTube, and keep yourself entertained while you're busy working through the most difficult lessons that you have. Many people make the mistake of putting all their effort into subjects that they really enjoy and think that this will make them stand out amongst their peers. This is not a good idea. Make sure that you're covering all the required content in all your subjects. If you rush through the material in one subject that you know you like and are confident in, you may struggle to find time to learn new things in other courses that you are less familiar with. Make sure that you fully understand everything in every subject you take. This will not only ensure that you do well in your assessments but will also put you in a great position to succeed in your desired career after university.

Tip 4: Be aware of all the resources that are available to students at your school.

 

These can be incredibly helpful when it comes to studying. resources like Qhub Africa have track records of equipping students with enough resources as they prepare for the demands of their course and help them not only to perform better but to also understand the nitty-gritty of their course subjects.

WHAT CHATGPT HAD TO SAY ABOUT QHUB AND PAST QUESTIONS IN GENERAL

   Hello Guys It’s been a while, yea! coming back to work/school or real life after the holidays took a lot of waking up from the euphoria, it was the same for me as well but yea we are back and ready to crack the year wide open.  One major trend from late last year and into this year 2023 is the exciting product that OpenAI rudely dropped on us. I'm talking about the almighty ChatGPT. A product that got over a million users in less than a month of launch. I am careful to say I’m one of the early adopters of this game-changing product. I have used it to handle several projects and it has been a major companion since returning from my holiday trips. One fundamental question I asked the AI is the importance of past question usage for tertiary institution students in preparation for their exams and he(Yes he, I have also named him we both agreed to call him Philip) had this to say : “Past exam questions can be a valuable study tool for tertiary institution students as they p...

How My Distraction Led Me To A Higher CGPA

  Am I a Cabin Biscuit…? So, I had a thing for Dr. Stare (pseudonym) We all have that friend who gets excited about the weirdest things and finds amazement in the little things. Wait let me give examples; she will sit and meticulously watch kids create paper toys with deep admiration, she has an indescribable attraction to deep intelligence and excellence, and your choice of vocabulary around her lands you in the classification of ‘Friend able’ and ‘The Others’, astonishingly she says “It is not about the sophisticated choice of words but about the uncommon use of words”. The round-up is that this friend is weird but you love them anyway. Yep! That’s me. It turns out I have some similarities with your friend and I have opened with this to gist you about Dr. Stare my 300-level lecturer. I’ve been described severally as a hopeless romantic. That is, my condition when it comes to romance is ghastly hopeless, there’s literally no hope for hope. I fall anyhow, anytime, and with anyt...

How I Prepared and Still FAILED An Exam at Uni!

  This would be very brief, my name is Boye. I remember in my 3rd year at uni I had this course called Operational and Quantum Mathematics (Math 324). At the beginning of the semester, the course was somehow. I missed the first two classes (The lecturer was the type that would hit the ground running at the beginning of every semester- bloody ITK) but I had my buddies Tamara and Mayowa explain the classes to me more than once, yet my knowledge was still not grounded coupled with the fact that as we progressed into the semester this course began to unveil weird levels of difficulties, so I had zero confidence in my knowledge of this course but I gave a front of “master of knowledge”. Well, I soon got exposed as the first test came and I failed like a woeful cat. 2 /15 was a major stain on my reputation. I couldn’t allow any evidence of this evil fail to exist, so I destroyed the script and cleared my brain of the memory, this was done before I had cried and yelled at myself for being...
