  • It's Time to Check In With Your Professors

    Midterm grades will be coming out on roughly Feb. 28, March 7, and March 14. Consider this a sign that it's time for you to check in with your professors. Even if you think you know exactly how everything is going, take a minute to set up an appointment or visit them during their office hours to double check. 

    • Find out where you stand with your grades
    • Ask what they'd recommend you do differently, if anything
    • Make sure you know what's due for the rest of the semester and the expectations for those assignments
    • Ask any questions you have!

    This will prepare you in case you have to make decisions about withdrawing or pass/failing, and it will keep you from being surprised come final exam time.
