Ten pieces of advice to survive CESL EAP1
Top ten lists

1- Time: make sure that you are on time in class and have time to do your homework.
2-Sleep: sleep a lot a home, don't stay awake too late at home in order to wake up earlier, to sleep a lot, and to be punctual at CESL class.
3-Pencil: they are necessary for note taking, and more, with them you will be able to erase your errors.
4-Energy: CESL professors appreciate dynamic students, you have better not be lazy and boring.
5-Lunch: Between 12 o'clock pm and 1 o'clock pm you will certainty need to charge your batteries for the next class. So eat well and good.
6-Good humor: Be happy because it is definitely easier to work with happy people than with angry people. You could also understand more quickly if you are not irritated.
7-Tolerance: Because CESL students are usually International students, it will be good for you to accept them as they are. Who knows? Maybe you could make some friends or more...etc.
8-Clean clothes: I don't think that teachers would like to work with somebody who is dirty.
9-Politeness: If you were vulgar, it's about time you changed your attitude because you could embarrass your classmates with bad manners.
10-Be able to work in groups: you will have a lot of group activity, so if you were solitary you would be a handicap to your classmates.
