Tips & Tricks

                65
The academic quarter
• Pay attention to starting times!

• Lectures, study groups, tutorials usually start c.t.
  (cum temporae – with time), which means 15
  minutes past the full hour
• Examinations usually start s.t. (sine temporae –
  without time), so be on time!

                                                    66
Find your tribe

  It‘s Dangerous
   to Go Alone.
   Go Together!

                   67
Ask Questions
• Ask your study partners and fellow students

• Use the ISIS-Forum
• For confidential topics: write to your teaching
  assistant or the professors office, usually not the
  professors themselves
• #UrgendIsNotASubjectLine
• Be polite, there are people at the other end

                                                  68
Office hours
• Ask you teachers how stuff works
• Ask questions and get help with problems
• Make use of them early

• Usually offered by
   1. Tutors
   2. Teaching assistants
   3. professors

                                             69
Be self aware
• get rid of unnecessary stresses
   • deregister from examinations
      • Difficult/impossible for portfolio examinations
   • replace modules you don’t like
• Do i really want to to this course?
• Remember to find something for balance
