Academic performance is also an essential aspect in your studies and success. For a better academic

of this course.
• Advance sequentially throughout the units and do not let work accumulate for the end of the
bimester.
• Carefully read the didactic guide and the textbook.

didactic guide.
• Take notes of the most important points or those aspects that are difficult to remember. You can use
summaries, outlines, charts, tables and other resources that allow you synthesize the information.
• Work on the distance evaluations (one each bimester). Remember that distance evaluations are a
learning strategy and preparation for the on-site evaluations.
