It’s that time of the year that students return from summer holidays and prepare for the academic sojourn that lies ahead. While every student’s grand ambition is to finish top of their class, many fail even before they start due to poor organization!
If you want to be the best, learn from the best!
In a video posted online, First Class degree holder, Microbiologist Michelle Chongan offers useful tips that worked for her, hoping that one or two people could be inspired.
According to Michelle, if you are serious about being an outstanding academic, you must get rid of bibliophobia!
‘’Find the recommended reading list and get you’re a** to the library’’, she happily advised.
She added that befriending professors isn’t the answer; but rather, in her pleasant voice ‘know what type of lecturer likes to ask what type of question’.
Her advice for working students: ‘strategizing smartly and not strategize in stupidity.’
Ms Chongan said: ‘I worked my job around studying, rather than my studying around my job’, before urging students to be in their very best in what they are good at.
The beautiful young lady is the daughter of Ebrima Chongan, who was a police chief at the time of the coup. Unlike many PPP surrogates, the Chongan senior pursued higher education upon arriving in the U.K.
Look forward to our interview with her in our subsequent editions.
