2. TO MAKE A FIRM DECISION ABOUT THEIR LEARNING COMMITMENT.

3. TO SELECT STRATEGIES (according to their learning styles).

4. TO PLAN THEIR TIME ACCORDING TO THEIR GOALS.
5. TO DEVELOP THE ACTIVITIES (according to their commitment).

There are two major motivations before taking a subject:

1: TO PASS IT because it is a requirement of their curriculum.

2. TO LEARN and as a result of this, TO PASS IT.

In the first one, the student does not study much, there is no commitment and he/she uses legal and sometimes illicit
resources to pass the subject. In the second one, the student studies with pleasure, he/she plans his/her time
and fulfills all the tasks and activities. They study on their own because they want to learn and enrich their mind and
personality in order to BECOME IMPORTANT PEOPLE.

Regarding LEARNING, students are the only ones responsible for the results; do not look for culprits. If there is
no commitment, do not look for apologies or someone to blame. LEARNING OPENS DOORS AND HORIZONS
AND IT PRODUCES THE GREATEST SATISFACTIONS!

GOOD LUCK AND WELCOME!
