Description of the video:
WEBVTT 1 00:00:04.795 --> 00:00:07.535 [Alex Pistey] The most challenging aspect about K201 is the fact 2 00:00:07.535 --> 00:00:10.895 that a lot of students have never really worked with Excel 3 00:00:10.915 --> 00:00:14.255 or Access, and you're not necessarily coding too much in K201, 4 00:00:14.255 --> 00:00:16.815 but you are using some skills 5 00:00:16.815 --> 00:00:18.575 that would incorporate those ideas. 6 00:00:18.915 --> 00:00:20.815 So these are the three tips that I have for you 7 00:00:20.835 --> 00:00:22.295 to be successful in K201. 8 00:00:22.555 --> 00:00:26.255 Tip one: Utilize all resources at Kelley and IU. 9 00:00:26.525 --> 00:00:29.095 Some resources for K201 are the K-Cove, 10 00:00:29.365 --> 00:00:30.655 your professor's office hours, 11 00:00:30.755 --> 00:00:33.415 and the academic support centers located throughout IU. 12 00:00:33.595 --> 00:00:35.375 You should take advantage of these resources 13 00:00:35.375 --> 00:00:37.375 because they can help you in the long run. 14 00:00:38.315 --> 00:00:41.495 Tip two: Take advantage of all extra credit opportunities 15 00:00:41.765 --> 00:00:43.855 because at the end of the semester, all 16 00:00:43.855 --> 00:00:45.255 that extra credit's gonna add up, 17 00:00:45.275 --> 00:00:46.695 and it's gonna really make a difference 18 00:00:46.695 --> 00:00:48.335 between getting a B plus in the class 19 00:00:48.355 --> 00:00:49.455 or getting an A in the class. 20 00:00:50.715 --> 00:00:52.615 Tip three: Network with your professor. 21 00:00:52.995 --> 00:00:56.015 Not only will it help you in the future for writing letters 22 00:00:56.015 --> 00:00:57.015 of recommendation, 23 00:00:57.355 --> 00:00:58.895 but being able to talk with your professor 24 00:00:58.895 --> 00:01:00.815 and create that meaningful relationship with them, 25 00:01:01.185 --> 00:01:03.375 it'll help you get a better understanding of 26 00:01:03.465 --> 00:01:04.935 where you want to take your career. 27 00:01:05.755 --> 00:01:08.455 The three tips that I mentioned can make a real big impact 28 00:01:08.475 --> 00:01:11.495 on how you approach Kelley and work through your semester. 29 00:01:11.555 --> 00:01:13.575 And you wanna make sure that you're keeping up to pace 30 00:01:13.575 --> 00:01:17.015 because at the end, all this hard work finally pays off.
Basic Accounting Sills (BUS-A100)
Study tips from undergraduate student Sharod Holmes bolster students enrolled in BUS-A100.
Description of the video:
WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.778 [MUSIC PLAYING] 2 00:00:02.779 --> 00:00:06.739 [SHAROD HOLMES] A piece of encouragement that I would tell someone who's taking A100 would be to 3 00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:10.739 go at your own pace. A100 is your entry course to 4 00:00:11.159 --> 00:00:14.880 accounting. I started off very rocky taking A100, 5 00:00:15.500 --> 00:00:19.319 but I stuck with it, and I was real happy because I was able to get a better 6 00:00:19.379 --> 00:00:22.359 grade than I thought I would be able to get to, and I was able to pass the class. 7 00:00:22.819 --> 00:00:26.779 So my first tip for A100 would be start preparing for the exams early. 8 00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:31.000 That grace period will allow you enough time to really understand the concepts 9 00:00:31.260 --> 00:00:33.099 instead of memorizing the questions. 10 00:00:33.139 --> 00:00:36.279 A lot of the questions are very similar, so if you understand the concepts behind 11 00:00:36.319 --> 00:00:38.219 them, you'll be able to do much better on exams. 12 00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.759 Tip 2, utilize the teaching assistants in your class. 13 00:00:42.299 --> 00:00:46.259 The professor's office hours are always helpful, but the TA's office hours are 14 00:00:46.299 --> 00:00:49.579 conducted by people who are closer to your age, so they can better understand where 15 00:00:49.599 --> 00:00:52.719 you're coming from, and they also just went through this process, so they can 16 00:00:52.779 --> 00:00:54.619 really give you the tips that you need to succeed. 17 00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:57.579 Tip 3, find friends in your class. 18 00:00:57.959 --> 00:01:00.899 Different people come from different experiences, so they have different ways of 19 00:01:00.959 --> 00:01:04.459 solving problems. So one of their ways of solving problems could be more beneficial 20 00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:07.599 than the way you're solving it. When you're in a class and you're struggling, I 21 00:01:07.639 --> 00:01:11.179 would say don't focus on the grades that you received in the past, focus on the 22 00:01:11.260 --> 00:01:14.180 material that you missed so you can learn that when it's time for 23 00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:15.619 finals. 23 00:01:15.619 --> 00:01:19.619 [MUSIC PLAYING]
