Not a single event in student life becomes the object of as many jokes as a session. This is understandable: cheerful students instantly lose all courage when they have to answer for the consequences of a fairly free lifestyle throughout the semester. And here it turns out to be easier for those in whose universities it is customary to tightly control academic performance throughout the school year. How to prevent the first session from becoming the last?
Selective Perfectionism
First of all, do not panic. Of course, there are teachers who are “bloodsuckers” and difficultly formulated questions. Of course, it is impossible to learn everything. The curricula of most universities are calculated unrealistically even in terms of students' physical abilities. However, your performance is of little importance to future success. And this is a study of American scientists, and in the USA they take grades and studies more seriously. So, if a student managed to get a diploma - his income level will be about the same as that of other graduates of the same educational institution. So do not break into excellent students, a session is an excellent cure for perfectionism. It is enough to be good-looking in general and an excellent student in some of your favorite subjects.
There is a difference
Be more attentive to professional subjects and calmer in relation to “stressful” ones. If you receive a teacher’s diploma, the most corrosive employer will look at your grades in the subject and methodology taught. But how you learned sociology or philosophy is only up to you. Treat "load objects" as an opportunity to broaden your horizons. And do not believe all those who say that the session is a terrible event. Think of it as a way to test the depth of knowledge.
Two types of students with a high score.
An excellent student at a university is not the same as an excellent student at school. In higher education institutions, either very gifted people who find it easy to study (minority) or workaholics who do not see the aspects of life unrelated to education (such as most of those receiving red diplomas) become excellent students . The second category is very popular with employers who need good performers without the need for creativity. So a session is not a competition in an intellectual sport, and the less energy you spend on envy, the more power will remain for real success.
Fruitful years
Many students have fun at the university, although it would be more reasonable to study a little less, but to begin acquiring experience in real working conditions. Employers prefer students who have already "sniffed gunpowder" in their profession and are not afraid. Such specialists do not have to be re-taught, they are already a finished product. Of course, learning must be good so that a person can relearn how to perform familiar operations. But in general, in most specialties, experience is the most important criterion for selecting candidates. While studying, you can take internships without payment, it justifies itself.
Looking at the session schedule, do not panic. Usually the time allotted for preparation is quite sufficient if you at least wrote lectures and appeared in most seminars. By the final course, you will so beat your hand at passing exams that you will almost stop worrying.
