Tips for Families and Friends 📓
As your Greyhound begins their classes at ENMU this week, it is important to help them adjust from high school classes to collegiate coursework.
Here are some helpful hints for you to encourage them to follow:
• Attendance is an important part of academic success. Missing only a
few classes can put your Greyhound behind and professors will notice if
they are absent.
• Each course provides a syllabus (semester outline of course readings, assignment/project due dates and examination dates) to be used as a guide throughout the semester. The syllabus will typically be reviewed in the first class but it is up to your Greyhound to manage what is expected throughout the semester based on the syllabus as the professor may or may not reference the syllabus again.
• Professors do not have to accept late assignments or projects.
• An entire semester’s grade may just be made up of two or three big tests/projects.
