3. Take at least one extra class each semester.
3.每学期至少学一门其他的课程
Now you might be thinking that 12-15 units are supposed to equate to a 40-hour week with all the outside homework and studying, but that’s only going to happen if you do things very inefficiently (which sadly is what most people do). If you follow some of the time-saving tips later in this article, then 15 units should only require a few additional hours outside of class to complete assignments. Obviously I couldn’t have taken 31-39 units per semester if it meant doing double those hours in outside homework. I didn’t succeed by overworking myself.
你可能会认为12-15个学时会和一个星期四十个小时以上的学习或者是家务事划等号的,但这种情况仅仅是当你做事情非常没有效率的时候发生的(而事实上是大多数人确实是如此的)。如果你在接下来的小贴士中遵循我提到的一些关于节省时间的方法,这15个单元仅仅就需要你一点点的课余时间来完成你的任务。很显然,我并不会花费31-39个单元的时间,而这意味着我要花费双倍的课外时间来完成我的任务的话,我并不是靠着过度工作来取得成功的。What about prerequisites? For the most part I simply ignored them, and fortunately at my school they weren’t enforced too well. I found that most of the time a prerequisite is listed, it’s geared towards below average students. Don’t let pointless bureaucracy slow you down if you want to graduate sooner. There’s always a way around it — it’s usually just a matter of getting some random form signed by someone who’s too bored to care either way. A smile and a compliment go a long way.
那么先决条件是什么呢?我曾经忽略过这点,但是后来我发现这是十分重要的。不要让没有任何意义的官方政策阻挡住你,如果你想尽快毕业的话。总是会有什么方法解决的,无非就是从一些无聊的人那里弄一些表格填写一下。记住在任何时候微笑都是十分有利的工具!
