My Top 5 Pieces of Advice
1. Go to every class, even when you don’t feel like it.
2. Read your syllabus.
3. Professors want you to succeed, talk to them, ask questions, go to their office hours.
4. Do all the readings.
5. Prepare and plan.

End
On Writing
Research is formalized curiosity: Not too narrow, not too broad, topic resonates w/ you
Don’t underestimate time it takes to do proper research and find the right sources
Reminder: Always take preliminary passes at databases to refine/refocus future searches
Do not settle your argument before beginning research. Seeking sources that “prove” your argument leads to frustration and flawed research.
Reminder: Scholarly research on new (and often hyper specific) topics may not exist. Don’t get frustrated. Take a broader view and look for similar/related topics
Always ask your professor!
Does your source pass The CRAAP Test?
