Justin Rowe, a senior medical diagnostics major, said the first few weeks of the semester are generally not as work heavy, so he likes to use that time to get ahead and set himself up for a successful semester.
“It’s the only downtime you have before the semester gets really serious,” he said, so he spent the morning organizing different folders on his computer, reading the syllabus for each class and creating Quizlets to get a head start on studying.
His goal for the semester is to earn a 4.0 grade point average. As he got some work done in Perkins Student Center before his next class of the day, he offered some advice for new students so they can achieve the same.
“Number one: Go to class,” he said. “And if you think you need help, don’t be afraid to seek it out.”
