291. Avoid sexist language when you write. For example, "A student must do his assignment," can be easily changed to "Students must do their assignments."
================================================
292. The biggest mistake most students make when they go to class is that they are there physically, but they are not there mentally.
================================================
293. Depressed??? Rent the video "Rudy." Really depressed??? See a counselor at psychological services.
================================================
294. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Break large amounts of information into small bite-sized chunks. What's easier for you to remember, 9,737,434,690 or the phone number (973) 743-4690?
================================================
295. FLEX YOUR MENTAL MUSCLES. Exercise #2:
Turn the Roman number IX into a 6 by using just one line.
(See #398 for the answer.)
================================================
296. You have no competition in the classroom if you are competing for knowledge.
================================================
297. The most important skill you can develop in college is B.Y.O.B. Be your Own Boss. Get yourself to do the things you have to do when they have to be done whether you like it or not . . . no matter what.
================================================
298. You don't have to like it. You just have to do it.
================================================
299. If you're waiting to get inspired to write that big paper, you'll wait forever. Schedule the time and just do it.
================================================
300. If you don't understand ONE WORD, you won't understand the sentence it's in.
If you don't understand the sentence, you won't understand the paragraph.
If you don't understand the paragraph, you won't understand the page.
If you don't understand the page, you won't understand the chapter.
If you don't understand the chapter, you won't understand the book.
If you don't understand the book, you'll flunk the test.
If you flunk the test, you'll get an "F" in the course.
Realize that you got an 'F" all because you were too lazy to look up one little word.
