What are common pitfalls for Honors students in academic trouble?
Generally, Honors students have not had academic difficulty in high school, so they may have trouble recognizing or respond to it in college. The most common mistake is to pretend it is not happening and that one can “fix it” by studying more. This tactic can get in the way of real progress. Other behaviors that always lead to more problems include: missing class, avoiding the instructor, and not meeting deadlines.
