The library is being the most popular place in Univerisity of Bridgeport because of your work hard. However, most of the students say that the network service needs to improve. If students are satisfied with the network, they would prefer study in the library. The solution is to upgrade network service which just cost few money. It benefits for everyone who studies or works in the library. There is a serious problem be concerned University of Bridgeport students who study in the library. I often study in the library. One of the network problems is network instability. For example, I have to research some information about my assignment, because my first language is not English, I always research more academic information after class or look up the unknown words in an online dictionary. However, I have to connect the UB network approximately every five minutes. I was really bothered by the unstable network here. This action which is frequently loggeing on to the internet makes my learning efficiency lower, because I cannot focus on the studying. The unstable network not only bothered me, but also bothers my friends. There are a statistic for this issue. My four friends...

...able to help the other one with a problem. Deal with cramps right away. When there’s something you don’t understand, you may be tempted to just put it aside and hope for the best. That strategy doesn’t work at all in math! Because everything builds, if you don’t understand A you will probably not understand B and C either. If this happens in class, ask a question right away. Don’t apologize and don’t worry about looking stupid; probably other people have exactly the same question. Outside of class, use the Baker Center tutors or talk through the problem with your study buddy. Visit your instructor during office hours or make an appointment for another time. Warm up before the event. Before class, look back over the readings and your homework. Make sure you are ready with any questions. Stay in training. Review your notes after class, even rewrite them to make sure you understand everything. If there are several days between classes, review the material at least every other day to keep it fresh in your mind. Make sure you train enough. The College recommends 2–3 hours per classroom hour, but you may need more. Recognize especially that in the summer you’re making a big time commitment. If your class meets five days a week for an hour and 40 minutes a day, that’s two 50-minute classroom hours, which means you should expect to study 4–6 hours per night, every...

...my head. The best way and the only one to obtain knowledge is by studying. Study habits are one of the essential tools that I must obtain or enhance in order to be successful. It’s not something that can be brushed off. Having a good study habit, avoiding distraction, and having a strong resolve has lead me to accomplishing my first semester here at TC3. When tackling assignments I had to make sure to plan well in advance; break down projects into manageable chunks, and setting goals along the way. Completing homework and class readings on time and avoid waiting until the last minute for important deadlines. Studying involves reading the textbooks, understand them, being able to explain it to others and sometimes memorize the most important concepts. It is important to have a special place and a special time to study. I try to find a peaceful place and also try to study during the times that work best. While studying, I also use this time to do the homework and assigned reading. I still need to learn to be good on time management skills. Learning to balance school, family and social life is one of the most important things to learn and I am still struggling...

...is to clear up some concepts regarding the three types of college students. One group, The Jocks, is the show-off type of people who puts off their homework assignments until the last minute. Once the assignment is completed at the last minute, the assignment is usually scored a low grade. The reason for this is because the jocks are always partying, going out on dates, or having fun with their sorority. The jocks wear anything to include torn jeans/shirts, work down sneakers or boots and cheap, expensive-looking jacket. The second group, known campus-wide, is the nerds because they are obsessed with books, constantly studying and learning about their interests. The nerds are usually annoying with their obnoxious laughter regarding a really stupid joke. The nerds wear a nice shirt with a bow tie, or a tie and a nicely ironed dress pants and always has a pocket protector to prevent ink stains from their pens. The nerd spends their school night with a tight schedule for recreation, school homework, and learning new things that captures their interests. Computer programming, calculator programming, the biology of their pet frog are some of the common things that interests the nerds. The third group is the normal group, they are usually typical college students attending their scheduled classes, getting the homework assignments done and turned in on time.
