survival of the fittest

also known as: how to survive BMT3!!!

Keep your ears and eyes open, for news about changing timetables, pracs and lecture times. Always keep a notebook handy for scribbling down important info you may not be aware of (and your friend does!). Get and keep on the best side of all lecturers. Ho you ask??? Firstly show respect by greeting, smiling, and paying attention when they are talking. Listen and appear as if you are. Ask questions. If you have a schedule, read up on the forthcoming lecture so you can clear any doubts during the lecture itself. Don't be a smart-ass, it does not help in the long run. Speak up for yourself, no one else will. Always complete any homework given to you. Show that you care, and the lecturer will take care of you. Show that you don't care, and he will end up ignoring you.
Do some reading on your own. All the subjects are new, and require getting to grips with. Get your tongue around the new terms. Explain things to yourself. and to others. Use the lab time available to its maximum. Yes you are hungry and tired, but next week is another prac, and today will be history. You will not get another chance to look at all aspects of the techniques or to ask questions of the lecturer.

enough already. over and out
