3. Take at least one extra class each semester.
3.每學期至少學一門其他的課程
Now you might be thinking that 12-15 units are supposed to equate to a 40-hour week with all the outside homework and studying, but that’s only going to happen if you do things very inefficiently (which sadly is what most people do). If you follow some of the time-saving tips later in this article, then 15 units should only require a few additional hours outside of class to complete assignments. Obviously I couldn’t have taken 31-39 units per semester if it meant doing double those hours in outside homework. I didn’t succeed by overworking myself.
你可能會認為12-15個學時會和一個星期四十個小時以上的學習或者是家務事劃等號的,但這種情況僅僅是當你做事情非常沒有效率的時候發生的(而事實上是大多數人確實是如此的)。如果你在接下來的小貼士中遵循我提到的一些關于節省時間的方法,這15個單元僅僅就需要你一點點的課余時間來完成你的任務。很顯然,我并不會花費31-39個單元的時間,而這意味著我要花費雙倍的課外時間來完成我的任務的話,我并不是靠著過度工作來取得成功的。What about prerequisites? For the most part I simply ignored them, and fortunately at my school they weren’t enforced too well. I found that most of the time a prerequisite is listed, it’s geared towards below average students. Don’t let pointless bureaucracy slow you down if you want to graduate sooner. There’s always a way around it — it’s usually just a matter of getting some random form signed by someone who’s too bored to care either way. A smile and a compliment go a long way.
那么先決條件是什么呢?我曾經忽略過這點,但是后來我發現這是十分重要的。不要讓沒有任何意義的官方政策阻擋住你,如果你想盡快畢業的話??偸菚惺裁捶椒ń鉀Q的,無非就是從一些無聊的人那里弄一些表格填寫一下。記住在任何時候微笑都是十分有利的工具!
