From the Committee on Academic Standing

– Lack of student engagement

• Not attending classes, tutorials, etc.– Failure to understand academic regulations

• Taking too many courses, not dropping courses

– Not taking university (engineering) seriously– Working too many hours (part-time job)– Connecting mathematics and science to engineering and

computer science applications

– No sense of community with students and the Faculty

Advice

• Attend EVERYTHING (lectures, labs, tutorials etc.)• Review lectures weekly• DO every assignment, lab etc. AHEAD of time• Math courses: aim for 5 additional practice problems a day• ITI1120: aim for 5 additional practice programs a week• At the end of each week: if there is any aspect of lecture or any

problem or program you cannot do easily – GET HELP!• Organize weekly group study sessions to compare progress

and learn from each other• Join SESA!• Leverage all course resources listed on slide 10

Mentoring Centre
