IMC is mainly a hands-on course. You learn a lot through all your senses such as seeing, hearing, touching etc. Have you ever wondered what it was like to work in an Advertising field?
My days in the IMC program, I have come to realize that there is a lot that needs to be done all at once. It is fast paced and always changing. You need to be able to keep up with your workload, or you will eventually fall on your butt. Not saying that you will, but you should take this seriously if you feel you want to be in this field for a while.
Here are a few tips on staying on track:
1) Keep a day planner
2) Transfer what you put in your day planner to a wall calendar at home
3) Have dividers in your binder
4) Use sticky notes (they will be your best friend)
5) Label EVERYTHING
6) Plan ahead/prioritize/schedule your time
7) Study 2-7 day in advance
8) Do your reading assignments
9) Create a study group -tip- make sure its with people that are willing to work
10) SLEEP IS IMPORTANT, but not in class

This is just to get you on your feet. If you follow these tips you should remain fine, if not, you could always switch fields or good luck in the real world.
You’re constantly seeing, hearing, talking with the public, creating new designs and learning new things EVERYDAY.
I know that advertising is where I want to be in life. Most days are better than others, but sometimes you just have to think positive and know that this is what you want. Work your ass off in this industry and you’ll be fine.
So tell me, is this what you really want?
