You need tobalance time.

• Choose a degree you are generally interested in rather than studying for the sake of having a degree. You will learn more because you are interested in the subject.
   
• Always look at your assignments as a challenge rather than saying "it is too hard". A task thought of as too hard can slow you down to a standstill. The same task thought of as a challenge can spur you on.
   
• It is best to keep up with your work. A timetable should be arranged each week, to ensure that you do not fall behind.
   
• You should be aware of all your assignments and deadlines from the earliest stages of each Class/Semester. You can make a calendar for each module, stick on the wall in your room, where you can refer to it as and when the need arises.
   
• If you organise your studies around the important outside commitments you have, such as work and family, you will find that you can cope quite well with what is expected of you.
