Tip 1: Practice professional formatting and grammar. One should never use “text lingo” such as: “brb” “lol” “rofl” “wtf” when they are in a professional setting. Avoid words like this and just spell it out. Also use proper grammar when writing to professors and other classmates. You never want to seem informal when addressing the dean of students or other upper faculty.  If this is a struggle for you please try checking your work on “grammerly.com” or “microsoft word”. Or you can have your work reviewed by a peer or professional. Format letters and research papers in the proper form as well.

Tip 2: Discuss on Discussion Posts. This may sound pretty easy. But in fact it’s actually hard for professors to have participation. If professors didn’t set specific deadlines and criteria for students to hit, students would not meet them. Teachers that asks for discussion posts typically would love for students to participate heavily. Put in the extra work and it will be rewarded.

Tip 3: With Group Work use Google Docs! When having a group project that usually is made up of 3+ members, remember that structure is everything. Suggest to use google docs. If you are doing a paper, spreadsheet, PowerPoint etc, it is imperative that you utilize this software. In an age where all utilize internet, Google Docs pushes and successfully allows for people who are not in the same place work on the same project in real time. Most lazy member will do their work if given a deadline and time to do it.

Thanks and use these Tips!
