As a first semester Freshman, I can't say much, but I can say it's about learning how to "play the game." If you keep yourself on-task, focused, and together, you'll do fine here. Also, don't take CS1332 your first semester unless you're some kind of Comp Sci wunderkind. Finally, they said this during FASET (Familiarization and Adaptation to the Surroundings and Environs of Tech, AKA Orientation): Go to class. I know this sounds obvious, but my grades TANKED the moment I stopped going to class. I mean, yeah, CS was always hard, and it was disheartening when I got that first test back. But my other classes I was doing fine in. I stopped going to class, that stopped being the case. Also, if you need help, ask. Everyone is in this shit together… at Tech, the nerds help the jocks (because the jocks are also nerds). Tech has tons of tutoring, advising offices, and student organizations. I honestly think the reason why most people struggle here is because of the fact that they got A's in high school, and effortlessly at that. They have poor study habits, and scoff at going to office hours or tutoring. Now, there are professors here who are COMPLETE A**HOLES, but that seems to be the case at almost every institution. For those people, well, you take your grade, and move on, knowing you tried your hardest. |
