Wasn't this the 13th grade?

If you're new on Planet College it's time to review. The holidays are past. There is still some break left unless you're attending intercession. If not, look back. How did the term go? Did school meet your expectations? Did you meet the school's expectations?

If you are completely lost by these simple questions then this last term may have been the thirteenth grade for you. If it was, then there is still time for another orientation.

This one is simple. You are in college. Partying is fun, friends are great and the attendance office won't call your mom if you're not in class. In fact, there is no attendance office, no vice-pricipal and no detention either. Neat, huh? You may now choose your own behaviors and you will experience the results.

If your grades this last term were not satisfactory you may find the following information valuable. Grades, satisfactory passing grades are obtained by attending class. If this seems mysterious you may be in the thirteenth grade, with the mandatory supervision which goes along with that. But. There is no thirteenth grade. This is college, you are on your own.

Your choices now are your future. What will it be. The thirteenth grade? Or college?

Planet college grade review.

All of your grades from last term have been posted by now. You've seen the results. And you've seen your GPA. How did it go? How did you do? Better? Better than ever? Better than average? Worse? Well? Here is another Planet College tip: Talk to the instructor of your lowest graded class. Now that there is nothing in it for you meaning, no hope of sucking up for a better grade, find her and ask her about your grade. Ask her about your performance in class, if she (or he) remembers. Track her down and campus sometime soon and say,'I'd like to talk about your class." Ask her what you might have done to earn a better grade. Just keep it a nice general friendly and brief conversation. Be polite and thank her for her time. Sometime later seriously review with your self what this instructor said. Did you miss important assignment dates. Were you not in class often. Did you sit near the rear entrance and IM your friends. How could you have improved your grade. It is probably just a few small things which can be easily corrected. Now that you know. Give it a try, you might learn something.
