The prospect of going to university isexciting but can also be a daunting time. There are many questions to addressand a number of unknowns, then there’s the challenge of imposter syndrome –wondering whether you’ll fit in with other students along with fears about howto make your own way in the world. And that’s before you’ve even thought abouthow to be a successful student.

上大學(xué)的景象是令人激動(dòng)的，但也可能會(huì)是一段讓人畏縮的時(shí)光。可以探討的問題有很多，還有挺多是不為人知的，我們有冒名頂替綜合癥帶來的挑戰(zhàn)，即非常想知道你是否能融入其他學(xué)生，并帶著如何孤身闖蕩世界的恐懼。而這些甚至在你思考如何成為一個(gè)成功的學(xué)生之前就出現(xiàn)了。

There are a number of nuggets of wisdom wewould love to be able to give our younger selves to smooth the path throughuniversity. Some are to do with balancing study and paid work, others to dowith balancing study and social life. But on reflection, one of the mostimportant would be changing the way we looked at, and interacted with, theassessments we had to complete as part of our degrees.

為了能給大學(xué)生涯鋪平道路，我們想要把一些金貴的小智慧送給更年輕的自己。有些是關(guān)于平衡學(xué)業(yè)與有償?shù)墓ぷ?，還有一些是關(guān)于平衡學(xué)業(yè)和社交生活。但考慮再三，最重要的建議之一就是改變我們看待作為學(xué)位一部分的學(xué)業(yè)評(píng)定的方式，以及與之互動(dòng)的方式。

In our roles at Staffordshire University,we have both become increasingly interested in how students learn within highereducation. Our research looks at how talking with peers, tutors, family andfriends can prepare students for assessments and make the most of feedback.

在史丹?？ご髮W(xué)的任職期間，我們對(duì)于高等教育中學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)方式的興趣與日俱增。我們的研究檢視了與同輩、導(dǎo)師、家人和朋友的談話是如何能讓學(xué)生為評(píng)定做好準(zhǔn)備的，并且充分利用了相關(guān)反饋。

Have a support network

構(gòu)建一張支持網(wǎng)絡(luò)

If you are struggling, talk to people –your tutor, peers and family are all there to help you. Don’t close in on yourselfor start thinking “I can’t do this” – you can. Seek guidance and think aboutwhat needs to be different to make the situation OK.

如果你步履維艱，和別人談?wù)勑陌桑愕膶?dǎo)師，同輩和家人都會(huì)幫助你的。不要封閉自己，或是開始出現(xiàn)“我無能為力”的念頭，你可以的。尋求指導(dǎo)，并去思考，想要讓境況轉(zhuǎn)好，還需要改變哪些東西。

Get to know your course mates, but makesure you form your own ideas and opinions.

（圖解：去試著了解你的課程伙伴，但要確保你的想法和觀點(diǎn)是你自己形成多的）

If you’re finding your assignmentsdifficult, talk to other students in your lectures or seminars. Hearing notjust different viewpoints but seeing where others are coming from gives breadthto your work. Listen to your peers and practise expressing your own views –this can help to give you clarity around tricky subjects and will help you togrow and expand in your scholarly work. But don’t try to be someone else – eventhose who appear more successful than you.

如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)你在作業(yè)中碰到困難，和你課上或研討班上的其他學(xué)生聊聊。不只是要聽取不同觀點(diǎn)，還要去聽聽其他人一路而來的思考過程，這能為你的作業(yè)提供一些更寬廣的思路。聽聽你的同輩人是怎么說的，然后去練習(xí)表達(dá)你自己的觀點(diǎn)，此舉能在難對(duì)付的學(xué)科中幫助理清你的思緒，還能幫助你成長(zhǎng)，并擴(kuò)展你的學(xué)術(shù)工作。但不要試圖去做別人，哪怕他們似乎比你更成功。

Learn from your mistakes

從錯(cuò)誤中學(xué)習(xí)

When it comes to essays and assessments,your first attempt shouldn’t be your last. You need to read over your draftsand make changes to what you have written. This is editing, it makes for a moresuccessful assignment – as rarely can you write something just right first timeround.

說到論文和作業(yè)，你的第一次嘗試不應(yīng)該成為最后一次。你必須多讀幾遍草稿，并對(duì)你已經(jīng)寫下的內(nèi)容作出修改。這是編輯工作，能幫助你做出一份更成功的作業(yè)，一遍就寫對(duì)的情況畢竟是少見的。

There’s no doubt about it, startinguniversity can be a scary time, but knowing how to tackle your assignments,having a support network and being open to new learning experiences can allmake the process much smoother – and will hopefully help you enjoy your studiesover the coming years.

毫無疑問，啟動(dòng)大學(xué)生活也許是一段讓人恐慌的時(shí)光，但明白了如何應(yīng)付你的作業(yè)、構(gòu)建支持網(wǎng)絡(luò)并對(duì)新的學(xué)習(xí)體驗(yàn)保持敞開，就能讓這個(gè)過程變得更為順利，還有希望能幫助你享受你之后幾年的學(xué)習(xí)。

1、I’d add make sureyou take all the learning opportunities offered and not just those on yourcourse. Take the chance to try out newactivities through university societies or groups. And find out about the localarea. I studied in Manchester and although I did shop and socialise in the citythere were lots of landmarks and historical aspects of the city that justpassed me by.

我會(huì)加上這條：你要確保自己接受所有的學(xué)習(xí)機(jī)會(huì)，而不只是你課上的那些。通過大學(xué)社團(tuán)或是其他群體，抓住機(jī)會(huì)嘗試新的活動(dòng)。并摸清當(dāng)?shù)氐那闆r。我是在曼徹斯特上的學(xué)，雖然我確實(shí)會(huì)在這座城市里購(gòu)物和社交，但這座城有好多地標(biāo)以及歷史的一面都被我錯(cuò)過了。

4、I don’t doubtthat there are students who feel insecure and lack confidence. In my opinionthat’s normal. I recall feeling very lonely during my first term. I was in halland I’d made a few friends but my family was 200 miles away and this was preinternet and mobile phones so most students contact was by post. Breakfast inhall was like the scene in Harry Potter where no owls fly in with the kids’post…….without the owls though! Maybetoo many students these days believe all the hype that everyone else is havinga fab time and so would they if only they had a better iPhone or watch or pairof trainers. University is the perfect scenario to put all that stuff to oneside. The purpose is to learn and that includes learning about yourself. Youdon’t need money to study well and get good grades in your assignments. And hey! It’s bang on trend to stop buyingloads of new stuff. Get your clothes second hand ditto computers etc. Sharethings with your friends. Get a good degree and help save the planet.

我并不懷疑，存在一些沒有安全感以及缺少自信的學(xué)生。在我看來這很正常。我還記得我在第一個(gè)學(xué)期時(shí)感覺非常得孤獨(dú)。那時(shí)我在禮堂里，也交了幾個(gè)朋友，但我的家人在200英里以外，而且那時(shí)因特網(wǎng)和手機(jī)還沒有出現(xiàn)呢，所以大部分學(xué)生聯(lián)系家里的方式是寫信。在禮堂里吃早餐，就像是哈利波特里的場(chǎng)景，只是不會(huì)有雪鸮帶著給孩子們的信件飛進(jìn)來！也許現(xiàn)如今有太多學(xué)生相信那些個(gè)炒作，說什么其他所有人都在享受精彩時(shí)光，而只要擁有一部更好的iPhon、腕表或運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋，那他們也能享受到了。大學(xué)是一個(gè)把這些東西扔到一邊的完美場(chǎng)景。念大學(xué)的目的是為了學(xué)習(xí)，而這也包括了了解你自己。想要學(xué)得好，想要拿到好分?jǐn)?shù)是不需要錢的。嘿！停止購(gòu)買大量新玩意兒的趨勢(shì)是絕對(duì)正確的。去買二手衣物吧，電腦等亦然。和你的朋友分享東西用。拿到好分?jǐn)?shù)，然后幫助拯救這個(gè)星球。
