MARCH: effective studying

Main Points of Class

Study is your first professional work, not just a preparation for work.
The primary goal of studying is to learn. In addition, a critical skill you learn by studying is training the mind to concentrate on the work at hand – a fundamental characteristic of a good professional. It is made possible by studying “at the right time” and “in the right place.”
In professional life, people measure you by your performance. In school, you are measured, in great part, by your grades.
You need to develop good study habits now.
Learning is not just for school. It’s for your whole life. Get used to it. Get good at it.

In-class activity: Personal Appearance and Small Talk

The purpose of the Personal Appearance activity is to teach the basics of style and etiquette in social situations with regard to personal appearance.
Dressing well need not be about personal vanity, but about giving the best of ourselves to others and showing that we care about material details and the people around us.
