如何在大學(xué)里取得好成績?

Good grades can open many doors in college: scholarships, acceptance into certain majors and better chances of getting into graduate school. Likewise, bad grades can close those same doors, possibly requiring students to repeat classes to reopen them. But what defines a good or bad grade largely depends on the goals students set for their collegiate career, academic experts say.While good grades can be relative to a student's idea of success, here is what experts have to say about earning high marks.

在大學(xué)里，好成績可以打開許多扇門:獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金，某些專業(yè)的錄取，以及進(jìn)入研究生院的更好機(jī)會。同樣，糟糕的成績也會關(guān)閉這些門，可能需要學(xué)生重修才能重新打開。但學(xué)術(shù)專家表示，好成績和壞成績的定義在很大程度上取決于學(xué)生為大學(xué)生涯設(shè)定的目標(biāo)。雖然好成績可能與學(xué)生對成功的看法有關(guān)，但以下是專家對高分的看法。

Go to Class

去上課

Rizza tells her students to "be purposeful, be responsible and be intentional" with their education. A big part of that is going to class, even when there are other important things. And if a student must miss class, he or she should notify the professor.

里扎告訴她的學(xué)生們要“有目標(biāo)、有責(zé)任感、有目的地”接受教育。其中很大一部分是去上課，即使有其他重要的事。如果學(xué)生必須缺課，他或她應(yīng)該通知教授。

In college, students have more flexibility to skip class because attendance policies vary by professor, but that isn't an excuse to miss class. Experts say students should attend class, take notes and engage with the faculty and their classmates.

在大學(xué)里，學(xué)生逃課的靈活性更大，因?yàn)槌銮谡咭蚪淌诙?，但這不是逃課的借口。專家說，學(xué)生應(yīng)該上課，做筆記，并參與到教師和他們的同學(xué)當(dāng)中去。

Read the Syllabus

閱讀教學(xué)大綱

Students should "read the whole syllabus" emphasizes Heather Page, executive director of academic advising at Eastern Washington University. It's there students will find details on deadlines, assigned readings, extra credit opportunities and more. Knowing what's in the syllabus can give students an idea of what to expect over the course of a semester. The typical syllabus often includes a class description, a calendar, the grading rubric, attendance policies and required materials.

東華盛頓大學(xué)(Eastern Washington University)學(xué)術(shù)咨詢執(zhí)行主任希瑟•佩奇(Heather Page)強(qiáng)調(diào)，學(xué)生應(yīng)該“通讀整個(gè)教學(xué)大綱”。在那里，學(xué)生們可以找到截止日期、指定閱讀材料、額外學(xué)分機(jī)會等細(xì)節(jié)。知道教學(xué)大綱上的內(nèi)容可以讓學(xué)生對這學(xué)期的課程有一個(gè)大致的了解。典型的教學(xué)大綱通常包括課程描述、日歷、評分規(guī)則、出勤政策和所需材料。

Study Ahead

提前學(xué)習(xí)

With the syllabus serving as the class road map, attentive students know what assignment is around the bend.

教學(xué)大綱就像課堂路線圖，細(xì)心的學(xué)生知道什么作業(yè)是迫在眉睫的。

Do the Homework

做作業(yè)

"Even if you don't get a grade for it, what the faculty have identified as important to being successful in the class is built into the homework," Page says, adding that's why it's important for students to complete every assignment, regardless of credit.

佩奇說:“即使你沒有得到相應(yīng)的分?jǐn)?shù)，老師認(rèn)為在課堂上取得成功的重要因素也會體現(xiàn)在作業(yè)中。”他補(bǔ)充說，這就是為什么學(xué)生完成每一項(xiàng)作業(yè)都很重要，而不管學(xué)分如何。

Meet With Faculty and Advisers

與教師和顧問見見面

Faculty office hours exist for a reason, and experts encourage students to take advantage of that time.

教師在辦公時(shí)間待著是有原因的，專家鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生利用這段時(shí)間。
