The first time you are enrolled in a class at Saint Leo (or any other university), it takes a little time to understand expectations and how the courses are organized, as well as what the grading criteria are. Reading the syllabus, assignments, and textbooks carefully and thoroughly can make a big difference in your grades, and in understanding expectations. It also helps to take a class you are comfortable with your first time. It is better to not jump into a topic you are completely unfamiliar with.  For example, if you have previously had a class on intro to psychology in high school, taking PSY 110 might be a good class to start with, as you have a little background and interest in that area. However, if you have not had a math class in some time, or are not comfortable with math, you might not want to jump into MAT 141 as your first math class. Instead, take the placement test, and start with a class that was recommended based on the placement test. Set yourself up for success!
