581: Don’t Let Your Student Start College Without Reading This First
Update: 2025-06-09
Description
Most college students don’t know how to use a syllabus, and that can lead to confusion, missed deadlines, and a rocky start to the semester. Even on Day 1, when some professors may expect them to come in having already read, completed assignments, etc.
In this mini-episode, we explain:
* What a syllabus is and why it matters
* The key questions it answers—grading, deadlines, materials, support
* Why reviewing syllabi before classes begin can prevent early mistakes
* How students can use syllabi to set up their planner or calendar system
This is one of the most overlooked habits that separates students who stay on top of things from those who fall behind.
Want to make sure your student starts college ready, not scrambling? Sign them up for our summer program, LAUNCH, which gives students the core foundation they need to thrive from day one—with expert guidance, tools, and strategies they won’t get during orientation.
