You are finally a Division III student. For some of you, this is what you have been waiting for and you could not be more excited. For others, this is what you have been waiting for and you could not be more terrified! Don’t worry. No one who is just starting has ever been a Div III student before. It is new. It is challenging – in good ways and in more difficult ways. But YOU WILL DO IT!!! There are supports from your committee, other faculty, staff, students, friends, and family. This blog is built as an additional support. The posts will include such things as:
- Tips on writing contracts
- Suggestions for finding/forming committees
- Ideas about expectations for how much work to do each week
- Suggestions for time management
- Tips for managing large projects
- Writing prompts to help you think about ideas differently or to get unstuck
- Instructions for creating peer writing or peer critique groups
- Information about events and workshops
- Tips from librarians about finding and using resources
- Information on media resources
- Ideas about how to organize your thinking and/or your papers
and more! You can also use this site to find resources and important dates and reminders. We hope it is helpful. So visit regularly – there will even be weekly give-aways to motivate you to visit the site. Just answer the weekly question posted each Friday to enter.
Div III is probably different that anything you have done before, but you have been developing the skills to do a Division III during your last few years at Hampshire.
