How To Fail Your Courses

September 6th, 2008

Every September in the first week of classes we have an orientation day for our first year students. One of the highlights of the day is a presentation that I and my colleague Mark Schroeder give on how to achieve success as an undergraduate. Rather than make the presentation all preachy, we decided to have a bit of fun. Instead of calling it 19 Ways to Succeed, we called it 19 Ways to Fail Your Courses. This year, I gave it the same treatment that I gave to my other presentations shown in my blog. If you are interested in using this presentation, just send me an email and I’ll send you the PowerPoint file.
