Survival Tips

1. Break problems down into smaller steps. Be a problem solver, not a complainer. (This is called being pro-active.)
2. Slow down. Concentrate on one step at a time.
3. Seek direction. Seek new ideas from others. Seek challenges. (There's a reason its called Project SEEK.)
4. If you hit a wall, roadblock, or any kind of obstacle: STOP (Stop what you are doing, Take a drink of water and Take a breather, Observe your surroundings and Observe what people are doing around you, then Proceed with what you were attempting to do.)
5. Set your priorities. Don't be too impulsive before jumping into action. STOP and think about what needs to be done first, second and third. This is what I mean by setting your priorities.
6. Tell others around you what they are doing right. (Especially if you notice your group starting to bicker.)
7. If you still can't get things moving, then start asking lots of questions. Be honest with each other. Ask if anyone else is confused. Ask if anyone has an idea. Ask for help.
8. Use your common sense. It's impossible to spell out everything you can/can't do in this class, but at this point in your life you should have an understanding of what is acceptable/unacceptable behavior in different settings.
9. Think through your decisions. Get input from as many others as time permits.
10. You are being given a lot of freedom in this class so know that freedom carries with it responsibility.
