In high school you might have a chance to miss a lot of classes, maybe even fail a couple of exams, but in College everything counts. From your first day of clases til your last, everything you do or dont do, goes eithere for you or against you. It is very important, while in College, that you start off on good terms. Yes it strange, but having homework on the first day of classes was a very big adjustment for me! Normally in High School, there would not be homework until maybe the next week or so, but a lot of Cllege teachers believe in starting off early. You know that in High school you have a lot of class work due, plenty of tests and exams, a lot of chances to recieve extra credit and more. In college, some of your classes you may just have four exams, maybe two or three quizzes, and maybe no homework due. This can help you but also hurt you if you dont take everything seriously. You have less room for error with a lot of your classes. In my Math class, we have four exams, four major Online homework assignments, homework in the book that we dont have to turn in, and a quiz everytime the class meets. It may sound hard, but its not just as long as I do my book homework which is basically just practice for that chapter, and do good on most of my exams and do the online homework. In my Geology class, all we have is four exams that count as 40% of our grade, our Geology lab, that counts as 33% of our grade, service hours that count as 17% of our grade, and 3 quizzes that are 10% of our grade. Thats challenging at times because you you have to be serious with your studying, simply because EVERYTHING COUNTS.
