Are you ready for your classes?

Whether you are sewing a dress or repairing a car, you need the necessary tools and supplies to complete the job successfully. It only stands to reason that in order to be a successful student you need the minimum of a pen and paper when you go to class. Taking notes in class is vital to your survival. Ideally, your professor will be sharing information that is not in your textbook or, at the very least, enchancing what you have read in the book.

The following are the "tools" that you need as a student:
Pencil case
Pens/Pencils (#2 for taking scantron tests)
Eraser
Pad of college ruled paper with three holes.
Three ring binder for each class.
Stapler/extra staples
Single hole paper punch
Ruler
Rubber bands
Paper clips (several sizes)
Post-its
Glue for special projects
Tape
Calculator
Highlighters (assorted colors)
Index cards--get in the habit of making flash cards
Computer
Inexpensive small recorder

And, the "BIGGY"--your textbooks. Yes, they are expensive but, if you have signed up for classes, you know that you will need to buy books. I'll go into more detail on buying books tomorrow but, you must have your books on the first day of class. Believe me, this is VERY IMPORTANT!!
