Success During Your Studies

The learning environment in the School of Continuing Studies at York University may be different than what you were accustomed to during your previous studies. Classes range in size from 15-60 students. Working in groups is required, participation and sharing your thoughts/ideas is strongly encouraged, and grades are determined by a variety of assessments – exams, quizzes, projects, presentations, participation, etc..

Instructors are practitioners and will share current trends in the field to bring the content to life. We try to incorporate real world examples and activities to help you learn and apply the material.

Tips for Success

• Attend class (if applicable)
• Arrive at class on time and stay until the end
• Time management is critical (don’t wait until the last minute to complete your work)
• Come to class prepared (read course materials in advance, etc)
• Submit assignments on time
• Submit your own work (cheating is NOT acceptable)
• Properly cite your work in assignments if you use someone else’s words or ideas from the internet, textbooks, journals, articles, etc.
• Be respectful of your classmates
• Ask for help if you need it
