Tips for Success(Page 7 of Academic Handbook)

• Come to class prepared!– Read the assignment before class

• Participate in class – Ask questions – Get the “Big Picture”• Take, organize and review notes• Do your homework!

– This is where you learn• Start projects/papers as soon as assigned!• Study away from distractions (go to Nimitz)• Get help early! - Go to your instructor first (EI)• Sleep is required too (not in class!)• Time management plan• Don’t be satisfied with just “sat”

– Better grades mean more desirable options: Privileges, Major selection, Service selection, etc.

• Additional guidance at– http://intranet.usna.edu/AcCenter/SAS/index.htm

(“Strategies for Academic Success”)

• Class procedures:– Start with “Attention on Deck” & “Seats”– Be professional and respectful in class– Close with “Attention on Deck” & “Dismissed”

• Questions?• Your success or failure as an officer will be

determined by how you use your time!• How you finish is determined by how you start. You

rarely catch up once behind!

Critical Languages!• Important Navy program. Financial incentives

for language proficiency. • FA101, FC101, FJ101 or FR101 • Good academic background (math)• DLAB - Defense Language Aptitude Battery• Validations are ongoing

Physical Education(not an “academic” course)

Fall – PE101 (Male), PE 111 (Female)Personal Conditioning/wellness: Boxing, wrestling, fundamental knowledge for a lifetime of health and physical fitness.

Spring - Fall – PE102 (Male), PE 112 (Female)Swimming: 50-meter breaststroke (six to 11 strokes per 25

meters); 50-meter elementary backstroke (six to 11 strokes per 25 meters); 5-meter tower jump; 40-foot underwater swim (swim suit); 200-meter swim (five minutes, 12 seconds maximum).

What is next?

• Computers• Books• 6 and 12-week exams…• Preregistration and Registration for Spring• Finals…• Then,

Majors for the Class of 2013!
