How can I be successful at UMF?

1.     In class, we discussed Practicum, as well as comments for surviving EDU 101. I believe that although those comments were just aimed specifically at Education classes, they can be applied more generally as well. In order to be successful as a college student, as well as a teacher, one must always be on time and keep commitments. In regards to being successful at UMF, this means attend class and arrive on time. Another piece of advice many of the "critics" gave on the wiki, was to keep track of your assignments and do not procrastinate. I have always been the type of person who keeps a planner and tries to get their work done early, so this advice really reassured me that although I may not be the "typical" college student who waits until the night before it is due to write their paper, it is a good thing to be organized and prepared. The only concern I have is regarding the amount of material on the Praxis II exam for social studies. I really find it difficult to be able to take the amount and depth of courses required to do well on the Praxis II in the short span of time I have before I am expected to take the exam. If I am supposed to take the Praxis II sometime in my junior year, I essentially have two to three more full semesters to learn seven subjects worth of material, accounting for one semester of Practicum. That is a little intimidating and worrisome.
