No other event in student life is the butt of so many jokes as a session. This is understandable: cheerful students instantly lose all courage when they have to answer for the consequences of a fairly free lifestyle throughout the semester. And here it turns out to be easier for those in whose universities it is customary to strictly control academic performance throughout the academic year. How to make the first session not the last one?
Selective perfectionism
First of all, don't panic. Of course, there are teachers who are “bloodsuckers” and questions that are difficult to formulate. Of course, it is impossible to learn everything. The curricula of most universities are calculated unrealistically even from the point of view of the physical capabilities of students. However, your academic performance has little bearing on future success. And this is a study by American scientists, and in the United States, grades and studies are taken more seriously. So, if a student managed to get a diploma- the level of income he will have is approximately the same as that of other graduates of the same educational institution. So do not rush to excellent students, the session is a great cure for perfectionism. It is enough to be good in general and an excellent student in some favorite subjects.
There is a difference
Be more attentive to professional subjects and calmer in relation to "load". If you get a teaching diploma, the most caustic employer will look at your grades in the subject and methodology taught. But how you learned sociology or philosophy is up to you. Treat "load items" as an opportunity to broaden your horizons. And do not believe all those who say that the session is a terrible event. Treat it as a way to test your depth of knowledge.
Two types of students with high scores
A high school student is not the same as a high school student. In higher educational institutions, excellent students become either very gifted people who find it easy to study (a minority), or workaholics who do not see aspects of life that are not related to studies (such are the majority of those who receive red diplomas). The second category is very fond of employers who need good performers without the need for creativity. So a session is not a mind sport competition, and the less energy you spend on envy, the more energy you have left for real success.
Productive years
Many students have fun at the university, although it would be wiser to study a little less,but start gaining experience in real working conditions. Employers prefer students who have already "smelled gunpowder" in their speci alty and are not afraid. Such specialists do not have to be retrained, they are already a finished product. Of course, learning must be good so that a person can relearn how to do familiar operations. But in general, in most speci alties, experience is the most important criterion for selecting candidates. While studying, you can do internships without pay, it justifies itself.
When looking at the session schedule, don't panic. Usually, the time allotted for preparation is enough, if you at least wrote lectures and appeared at most seminars. By the end of the course, you'll be so good at taking exams that you'll almost stop worrying.
