Tips for the Babies

And now, I pass down wisdom, hard-earned after a semester, for the benefit of all you babies out there. Behold:

• Do the homework! It can be a drag sometimes, especially around the middle of the semester when all of your other classes only have the occasional paper, but really, just do it. The practice is good, and it is so not worth messing up your GPA for this class.
• Don't be too angry that you didn't test out of this class. It's pretty interesting, and even if you are sure you know everything, chances are, you really don't.
• Ms. Belisle is really into design, so take an extra few minutes when you finish a project to make sure it looks nice!
• Keep up with your grades on Blackboard- it's an interesting tool to have at your disposal, plus there are random point bonuses a few times if you keep up with it.
• For exams: look over the course outlines a day or two before. Pretty much everything you need is contained within these pages! Whatever you don't understand, that's what the TA is for!
• Please note that most of the campus computers don't have Photoshop readily available- it is worth the download time to get the trial version.
