HOW IS COLLEGE DIFFERENT FROM HIGH SCHOOL?PERSONAL FREEDOM IN HIGH SCHOOL Your time is structured by others. You can count on your parents and teachers to remind you ofyour responsibilities and to guide you in setting priorities. Guiding principle: you will usually be told what yourresponsibilities are and corrected if your behavior is out of line.PERSONAL FREEDOM IN COLLEGE You manage your own time. You will be faced with a large number of moral and ethicaldecisions you have not had to face previously. You must balanceyour responsibilities and set priorities. Guiding principle: you’re old enough to take responsibility for whatyou do and don’t do, as well as for the consequences of yourdecisions.HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES You spend 6 hours each day — 30 hours per week — in class. Most of your classes are arranged for you. You are not responsible for knowing what it takes to graduate.COLLEGE CLASSES You spend 12–16 hours each week in class. More time will bespent studying, usually two hours for every one hour of timespent in class; if you take 12 units, you will need 24 hours ofstudying, or 36 hours a week for class activities. You arrange your own schedule in consultation with a counselorduring orientation (new FC students). Schedules tend to looklighter than they really are. Graduation requirements are complex and differ for differentmajors and sometimes different years. You are expected to knowwhich requirements apply to you.HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS Teachers approach you if they believe you need assistance. Teachers have been trained in teaching methods to assist inimparting knowledge to you, the student. Teachers present materials to help you understand the material inthe textbook. Teachers often take time to remind you of assignments anddue dates.COLLEGE PROFESSORS Professors are usually open and helpful, but most expect you toinitiate contact if you need help or assistance. Professors have been trained as experts in their particular areasof research. Professors may not follow the textbook. Instead to amplify thetext, they may give illustrations, provide background information,or discuss research about the topic you are studying. Or, theymay expect you to relate to the textbook readings. Professors expect you to read, save, and consult the coursesyllabus; the syllabus spells out exactly what is expected of you,when it is due, and how it will be graded.STUDYING IN HIGH SCHOOL You may study outside of class as little as zero to two hours aweek, and this may be mostly last-minute test preparation. You often need to read or hear presentations only once to learnall you need to learn about them. Guiding principle: You will usually be told in class what you needto learn from assigned readings.STUDYING IN COLLEGE You need to study at least 2–3 hours outside of class for eachhour in class. You need to review class notes and text regularly. Guiding principle: It’s up to you to read and understand theassigned material; lectures and assignments proceed from theassumption that you’ve already done so.TESTS IN HIGH SCHOOL Make-up tests are often available. Teachers frequently rearrange test dates to avoid conflicts withschool events. Testing is frequent and covers small amounts of material. Mastery is usually seen as the ability to reproduce what youwere taught in the form in which it was presented to you, or tosolve the kinds of problems you were shown how to solve.TESTS IN COLLEGE Make-up tests are seldom an option; if they are, you need torequest them. Professors in different courses usually schedule tests withoutregard to the demands of other courses or outside activities. Testing is usually infrequent, often cumulative, covering largeamounts of material. You, not the professor, need to organize thematerial to prepare for the test. Mastery is often seen as the ability to apply what you’ve learnedto new situations or to solve new kinds of problems.GRADES IN HIGH SCHOOL Grades are given for most assigned work. Initial test grades, especially when they are low, may not have anadverse effect on your overall grade. Guiding principle: “Effort counts.” Courses are usually structuredto reward a “good-faith effort.”GRADES IN COLLEGE Grades may not be provided for all assigned work. Watch out for your first tests. These are usually “wake-up calls” tolet you know what is expected — but they also may account for asubstantial part of your course grade. You may be shocked whenyou get your grades. Guiding principle: “Results count.” Though “good-faith effort” isimportant in regard to the professor’s willingness to help youachieve good results, it will not substitute for results when aprofessor is giving you a grade.4
