Late Adds Recommended Best Practices.

Late adds happen especially if a course you need for your major opens up unexpectedly.

 On some classes students can add as late as three weeks into the term.  Some even later.  When a late add happens and you can join a course already in progress you probably have come catching up to do

If you have added as late as that then simply  put you have three weeks of course work to catch up on. Just as if you had missed three weeks later during the term.

This calls for a little ingenuity and resourcefulness on your part. You will have to survey the course outline to determine which assignments you need to accomplish in order to get caught up.  You also need to be sure to down load all of the other course materials you will need for the term. If there are books required get them.

If you know some one who is taking the same course or even in the same class ask them what you need to get caught up on.

Finally, as soon as possible speak with the instructor.  Tell her you have added late and you are working hard to get caught up. While you are speaking with her tell her you want to do as well as you can in her class.  If she replies with specific hints be sure and remember them, maybe even write them down and follow up on what she suggests.
