Hi, my name is Trice and I’m here to tell you
about some great online information,
the Success At MTC web site.
This page is dedicated to your success and is filled
with information just for that purpose.
The web page is located at www.midlandstech.edu/success.
This page is divided up into sections that allow you
to review the information you want and need.
The first section is on scheduling courses.
Okay, you may ask yourself,
how can course scheduling help me succeed?
You’d be surprised.
Some questions you may have such as do you want to be full
or part-time and should you be based upon demands in your life?
How many credit hours should you sign up for if you work?
This section can help you answer these questions
so you can make the right course scheduling decisions.
Do you need to take a Freshman Seminar course?
Well, if you haven’t been in college before,
this is probably a good course to take.
The course can help you adjust to college life,
develop an understanding of learning
and acquire skills that will help you do your best.
There is also information on taking online courses.
Online courses are different than on-campus courses.
You have to schedule your class time,
homework time, basically, be a self-starter and really disciplined.
If online courses are something you want to consider,
check out this information.
How’s your time management skills?
What is time management?
HUM! Talk about something important.
You need to be able to balance your college life
with your family life and other obligations you may have.
There is a whole section dedicated to this most
important skill so you can make the best use of your time.
How’s your reading?
You will be reading a lot in your classes
and to get the most from your reading,
make sure and check out the reading hints section called SQ3R.
That stands for Survey, Question, Read, Recite and Review.
There’s a lot more than just reading something
to get what you need, trust me.
You want to get the most from your study time.
Speaking of studying, what about note taking?
Are you a good note taker?
And after reading and taking notes,
The Success At MTC web page has information on both of these.
what about writing a report or essay?
There is a section dedicated to math.
If you are like me, math may not have been your favorite subject.
So you need to check out this information
to get all the help you can to not only succeed in math,
but to conquer it.
Okay, let’s talk about tests.
Normally, test are a student’s worse fear.
The Success At MTC web page has a lot of information
to help you study for test.
Memory tips, strategies for your learning style
as well as handling test anxiety.
Speaking of anxiety,
I was usually okay up until the time of a test,
then I would start freaking out.
This page really helped me learn
how to deal with my anxiety during the test.
You’ve made the decision to go to college,
I know you want to succeed
so be sure to check out this web page.
You’ll be so glad you did.
