Academic eSupport Success Coaches
Lucas T is a third year student majoring in Neuroscience and Behavior. He stays active through weightlifting, basketball, and swimming. Being a successful college student is not easy but it is certainly possible. My advice is to be as efficient and as organized as possible. But, in order to do this you cannot forget, which is why you have to be organized by using a software like google calendar to track your plans.
My name is Marc M. and I am studying exercise science and health promotion here at FAU. I enjoy helping others keep fit and healthy, but also assisting them in reaching their goals, whether it be academic or physical. My favorite hobbies are playing games with my friends and weightlifting, as I try to stay consistent with my routine and work on my continuous improvement. To succeed in my online coursework, I make sure to plan ahead and see what I have to do every week, then follow-up on that by giving myself ample time to accomplish everything with the grade I desire.
Ian M. is a Political Science major at the Wilkes Honors College at FAU. Outside of his coursework, he enjoys swimming, reading, and exploring new nature trails. Ian values mindfulness in his academic journey and finds that taking a few minutes to meditate before studying helps clear his mind and improve focus, allowing him to absorb information more effectively.
