Are the suggestions in this article going to change the trajectory of your life? No. But they just might make your BBA – Marketing Management a little less stressful.
Simple Tips and Tricks
1. Schedule your time
There are dozens of apps like Friday that make planning your days a piece of cake and doing so can make all the difference. As a first-year student, I made the mistake of thinking I was past the days of planners when in reality, they were only beginning. The semester can fly by and scheduling your time and logging due dates helps you from missing deadlines.
2. Ask for Help
Nobody goes through university without asking for help along the way. Trust me, I know it’s not fun but staff, tutors, and other students are eager to lend a hand. Getting in the habit of recognizing when a concept is beyond your recognition can be hard to do, but thanks to FREE tutoring at KPU, it does not have to stay this way.
Course Considerations
1. Instructors
When trying to decide which instructor you should take a class with, look beyond RateMyProf. Every instructor has work experience in their respective field and will be able to share insight with you. Next time you are registering for classes, take a look at the instructor’s LinkedIn profile and see if their job experience relates to what you want to do in the future.
2. Planning
Planning out your degree can save you from all kinds of headaches later on. This does not mean you have to know what electives you want to take two years from now – instead, get familiar with the prerequisites for key courses and plan accordingly. Academic Advisors are a great resource when it comes to creating balanced schedules, so consider booking an appointment with one today! Also, courses like BUSI 2390, CMNS 3000, and ACCT 3380 are required for many upper-division courses and can be done early on in a degree which increases flexibility during third and fourth year.
