When you manage your time poorly you are asking for disaster. By planning ahead and sticking with it you can usually avoid sticky situations when things come due and they are not yet done. It is one of the worst feelings to know that you had time to get something done but put it off so long that you do not get it done, or do not get it done to the best of your ability. There are some easy ways to make sure you manage your time well and get things done on time. By making a calendar or keeping a planner you can keep track of what is coming up and know when you must have things done. By staying on top of your schedule you can stay on top if not ahead of it. One of the major differences between staying on top of work in college verses high school is having your parents there to help keep you on task. In college there is no one to keep on you and make sure it's done, you have to be more self motivated and organized then you were previously.

Case Study #4
Failing class can happen to almost any student no matter how strong or weak a student they maybe. Many campuses have different resources available to help these students. One of Butler's best resources is their learning lab that offers free tutoring sections to help students. No previous scheduled time is required to get help in every subject offered. If study habits are a problem for him then enrolling in an independent study class to learn study habits as well as test taking skills to do better in class. A visit to the registrars office is the quickest way to get into one of these classes. Depending upon what class he is failing and what book the teacher is using; some text books have their own web sites that offer help. From practice problems, to solutions, to Q & A pages, some text books can offer extra help too. But the quickest way to get help is to just ask the teacher questions. Whether you ask in class or after, or even in an e-mail the teacher is almost always happy to help in any way possible to help you succeed.

My name is Rachel Moore and I am from Olathe, Kansas. I came to Butler to play volleyball. I still have no idea what I want to major in but right now I am listed as pre-med. Last year I thought I wanted to do something medical but now I am begining to wonder if I might actually want to look for other ideas.
