In my second week of college my INQ professor
assigned articles to read, and as a typical student I dreaded it. But even
though I dreaded the fact that I had articles too read I knew that it had to be
done for class. While reading the articles, I could see why my professor
assigned them for homework because it evolved insight on how to become a
successful college student. One of the articles that I benefited the most was
the article “How to Become a Deep Thinker at College”. Reason why I found it to
be highly usefully is because the article basically helps you manage your time
and how to use that time very wisely, and that was very much appreciated.
After reading this article I know that there were
changes that I needed to make very quickly. Some of the main things that this
article brought up were time management and the amount of time you should
really be focus on your school work. For instance, say you had a class for a
hour the amount of homework you get should be doubled or even tripled so that
you forget and it will stick to you. When reading the article I found myself
making a comment next to section saying “the more activities you are involved
in the less you’ll be focus on your school work” and reason why I wrote this
comment is because it’s really accurate and make sense for everyone to
understand. If I were too recommend this
article to incoming freshmen or just college students I would highly recommend
it.
“This advice is so simplistic as to border on facetious. But
it’s the truth. The
students who make great mental leaps, and really become more sophisticated
thinkers, are those who have more than enough time to think about, work on,
grapple with, and revel in their coursework.”
