Activity Objective:

At the beginning of this term, you made one of the most important transitions a person can make for a rewarding life: starting college. You’ve now reached a milestone; in higher education, this milestone is called “midterm.” Many colleges issue midterm grades to students; many instructors give midterm exams.

At this point in the term, some of you might have lost motivation and started asking yourselves, “Should I have gone to college? How is this working out for me?” Midterm is an important time for you to “check in” on how you’re doing and make good choices so that the second part of the term goes smoothly.

Consider each of the pointers provided on the following slides, which are designed to help you finish the term successfully; then answer the accompanying questions to take action on each suggested item.

Let’s get started! Click the forward and backward arrows to navigate through the slides. You may also click the above outline button to skip to certain slides.

This activity may be saved and completed at a later time. Please note that you cannot change your answers after you submit them.

Know Your Course Standings

It’s important to figure out, as precisely as you can, how you’re performing in each course. Look at the syllabus, and review the section that describes how your final grade will be calculated. Estimate your overall grade in the course at this point using the grades you have received so far.

What is your best estimate of your current grade in each of your courses?

Please select the best response for each of your current courses. If you are taking fewer than five courses, simply respond “Not applicable” where appropriate.

Know Important Deadlines

There are many important deadlines in college, from advising and registration to fee payments, financial aid, and on-campus housing. Your college might not send reminders (or you might miss them). It’s up to you to take responsibility for learning and remembering these deadlines.

Fill in the deadlines below so you won’t forget them. (Add them into your phone or calendar as well.) If a particular deadline doesn’t apply to you—for example, if you live off campus, you won’t need the housing deadline—simply respond “Not applicable.”
