So my goals for this course would be being able to maintain an A or B the whole time, to study for all my tests as much as possible, and to do all of the homework in detail or to be able to keep really clear and detailed notes. I also would like to get as much out of this as possible, which I think that I will. Some of the things that I got from reading the High School v. College pages was that to make a long story short, college is way more work and time consuming than high school. In high school teachers will basically guide you through everything like your parent basically but in college they expect you to step up and be the responsible one, to be able to keep up with your reading and work, to be able to listen, to be able to hand things in or complete work on time, and to be able to handle things more like an adult. In high school the teachers teach right out of the book but in college they can talk about something totally away from the book, which requires you to go ahead and do the reading yourself while remembering what they had talked about also. Professors make you control your own time and let you use it how you want. In high school your parents and teachers basically tell you all the time what you have to do and when you should get it done by. High school the teachers write everything down and tell you what to copy so help you, while in college the professors will talk the whole time and just expect you to be able to pick out key points and get them down on your own. That is basically some of the stuff I learned from the High School v. College page.
