Have you ever got stuck with unwanted courses or a class schedule that cannot be changed? If so, that's because you don't know how to select the perfect schedule. But by following simple steps, you can begin any term with the right courses at the most convenient times.
First, you must find the right course. These are the ones that have the least amount of work. the fewest tests and the kindest professors. Ask your friends about courses in which they received A's after attending only 70 percent of the classes. Ask around,too, to see which instructors have given the same tests for the last fifteen years. Photocopies of these tests are usually cheap and can be easily found in school. Then, pick up a copy of the master schedule and study it carefully. Find the course titles that mean an easy pass for a painless subject. Look for titles like“Arts and Crafts for Beginners”and“Rock Music of the 1950s”.
Next, when you have got lists of easy instructors and subjects, you can begin to select your time periods. If you stay up late in order to watch old movies, you may want a daily schedule that begins no sooner than noon. You should schedule only afternoon courses, too, if you're one of those people who hate to leave a warm bed in the morning. On the other hand, if you are a person who gets out of bed at dawn, you may want to get your classes out of the way as early as possible. That way you have the rest of the day free. Morning classes are also necessary if you are a soap opers(肥皂剧) fan.
Finally, you want your schedule to pass through registration successfully. The main way to do this is to register(注册) early. If a course does happen to be closed because you simply couldn't register at 7:00 a. m., you may still be able to get in. Talk to the professor and tell him or her that a serious and hardworking student like yourself would be a shining example to other students. Be sure to carry a list of back-up courses to registration, though, just in case one of your chosen classes changes professors or time periods.
By following these suggestions, any student can pick the perfect class schedule. College can thus become an almost pleasant activity.

| Have you ever asked your customers and potential customers how they'd like to hear from you?Some of them might check email messages regularly throughout the day; some of them might check their messages only once or twice a day; and some of them might not use email at all. If you've been automatically using email to avoid lengthy phone conversations, first check to see if that's also your customers' preferred method of communication.Then consider the benefits of picking up the phone. I know, email is convenient.It gives you a record of what was said, and it lets you communicate without wasting any time on chitchat.But it also removes that little human bond of friendliness.It prevents you from finding a common ground-such as a shared interest in a hobby.The phone allows that. Using the telephone also aids in communication.A misunderstood question in an email can take several messages back and forth to clarify.On the phone you can say "No, I meant..."and then you can restate your question in a different way.Instead of being a timewaster, the phone can sometimes be a timesaver. Be sure to ask your customers if they'd prefer documents sent to them by email or fax -because some people really do prefer the fax.Remember that they're busy too.They might not want to sit at their computer opening files and printing pages of documents.For some, it's much more convenient to walk over to the fax machine and pick up the preprinted documents. There's an old saying:People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.Let your customers know that you care about communicating with them in their way.Asking is merely adding another level of customer service. Knowing how your people like to communicate can be even more important with prospective customers. Say you're sending a proposal for a project and competing with another vendor.If you assume that your prospective client reads his or her email regularly you might transmit your proposal as an attachment. If your assumption is wrong, and if your competitor has taken the time to learn that your prospective customer really wants to receive documents via fax, your prospective client might not even see your proposal until after the job is awarded. It only takes a minute to ask the question, and it might make a big difference in your income. Ways of__1__with your customers
