Advice to YOU from Students from COT 151 Last Semester
At the end of COT 151 last semester, I asked students to provide
advice to YOU, the students in this class this semester. Here’s
what they recommend for you to be successful in COT 151.
•
My advice to future COT-151 Students would be, to be prepared. It is very helpful
to complete the in-chapter exercises. This class requires your time and focus,
just like any other. I have used Word at work and at home, and thought this class
would be a breeze. You will be surprised by the amount of things this program
can do. Good luck and have fun with it.
•
Dear Future COT 151 Students,
RUN... RUN AWAY... AS FAST AS YOU CAN! Just kidding! My advice is to be
prepared for a lot of work. This is a condensed course and you have many
assignments each week. I would also suggest that you pay careful attention to
the discussion due dates, the first post is due three days before the two posts to
other students, so if you are doing them by the due date that's shown it will be
late. I really enjoyed the class and what I learned. I have used Word for several
years and thought that this class would be easier than it was, but you'll be
grateful for the knowledge and how you can apply it to what you're doing. Good
luck and enjoy!
•
My advice would be to study hard and make sure you do all of the exercises in
the book. This is a compressed course and it can become very frustrating at
times, however, it is a fun course and can be very helpful in the workplace or at
home. Pay attention to the discussion areas as they are due BEFORE the actual
assignments. I have really liked this class and am looking forward to continuing
the book. Oh, don't forget your professor, she is there to help and will whenever
she can. Good luck to all!
•
My advice is to pay close attention to the rubrics for each individual assignment,
as well as the due dates and times. I've regrettably missed several assignments
due to missing the deadline by only a few minutes. Allot yourselves enough time
to complete your assignments well before they are due, just in case you run into
a problem and need extra time to figure your way through it.
•
My advice to future students, first of all, would be to pay close attention to
assignment due dates, I mean close attention ha. I read the assignment due date
and it went in one eye and out the other and missed turning in my first
assignments. Second would be to allow yourselves plenty of time to complete
your assignments. This to me was a hard one working 8:00-3:00, getting home
taking care of a 21 month old, doing chores, then my homework. I felt like I never
�had time. But hey it can be done, so my advice would be to give yourself plenty
of time to complete assignments that way you can ask for help for those
assignments that give you a hard time.
•
I work from 5:30 am to 5:30 pm and have a 3 year old. It was tough but I found
my groove. I pretty much made sure all my homework for the next week was
done on the weekends during nap times, that way I did not have to worry too
much about it during the workweek. I would make a list of any questions that I
had as I went then I would email the instructor on Sunday night then that gave
me until Wednesday to make the corrections needed.
•
My Advice for new COT-151 students is to motivate yourself to finish
assignments, with simple things like post-its at the end of each chapter, like “well
done!” and “you finished, congratulations!” Time management was a big one for
me. It is extremely important to have a strong will, and use an agenda to
schedule yourself to finish important things, like homework, etc. It is a
compressed class, but the good news is that time goes by very quickly and you'll
have learned a lot of interesting functions in Word.
•
My advice for the future COT-151 students would be don't give up. Read your
materials, do the practice exercises and don't be afraid to ask for help. You have
to be prepared and manage your time wisely. Good Luck!
•
My advice for COT 151 students is to be on top of the assignments and reading.
This class has a lot of information in a limited amount of time. They should make
sure they read the chapter thoroughly and don't wait until the last minute to start
their assignments. They should start their assignments with enough time that
they can ask questions if needed. Making sure they understand what they are
reading is key in doing the assignments properly. The exercises in the chapter
are very helpful in making sure you understand the material. Be prepared to work
hard and enjoy what you learn!
•
The advice I would give the students who take this class next is to ask questions
and practice the setting tabs portion of the book extensively. I really enjoyed this
class and the teacher was very helpful with all aspects of the course. Stay
focused and use the video record option for discussions as it will give you
practice with public speaking as well. Good luck students! One more thing, make
sure you have the latest version of the Word software!

‘What it takes to succeed in Geology 101’
By: Geology 101 Students Fall 2007
‘A positive attitude and a willingness to learn is all it takes….keep your ears and eyes at attention
when she teaches.’
‘Study at least 2 hours a week.’
‘1. Take good notes. 2. Don’t wait until the night before a test to study, start at least 3 days out.
3. Try not to miss a class. 4. Don’t skip school on lab days (usually relates to text and provides
a visual on what is taught in class. 5. Understand Bowen’s Reaction Series.’
‘Read the chapters, pay attention to lecture, take good, thorough notes from lectures, participate
in reviews, print out study guides and keys, Study, Study, Study, talk to Carrie if you need to.’
‘It takes a driven spirit and a good sense of humor.’
‘I can say only one word – STUDY!!! If you don’t study you will struggle in this class. Her tests
are not very easy. Don’t study the book, study the notes and really pay attention, because she
gives the tests on notes and lecture, not the book!!’
‘Take extremely good notes during lectures. Study notes and then refer to book if more
explanation is needed. Ask questions if lost. Go to class every session, you will miss out a lot on
the notes and what was said in class.’
‘Don’t procrastinate! Read the chapters and understand the pictures. Learn all the geology terms
and how to use them.’
‘To not get overwhelmed – make sure you keep up. Read the chapters and have an interest to
want to be in here.’
‘To succeed in geology, it is vital that you pay attention in class! Taking notes during the lecture
is very helpful, because most of the information covered in class is directly on the exam. Also,
study the diagrams!’
‘Have fun. Work hard. If you don’t understand, ask the teacher to help you. Go to the study
groups. Take your time.’
‘Pay attention to the lectures!!!’
‘Take advantage of every single learning or studying opportunity available. Learn how geology
relates to your life and world --if it is interesting to you, you will learn more readily.’
‘If you wish to take this class, understand that the teacher forgets you have a life, STUDY LIKE
HECK! EVERY DAY!’
