how to back up a course in buzz

1. Strive for success, but don't let bumps in the road get to you

The first thing to do is to take a step back for a few minutes and reflect on where you are, and more importantly, why you're here.

2. Reach out to your instructor or advisor - always

Gilchrist says that reaching out to your instructor is the single best action you can take when you're falling behind.

3. Craft your master plan

After you take a step back to account for your situation and consult with your instructor on the resources available to you, build your catch-up plan. Don't try to do it all in one day – spread your catch-up work over a series of days in order to make it doable with your current schedule and commitments.

4. Stay current while you catch up

Don't forget: it's easy to simply put your head down, grind through your backlog of work, and end up still behind by not getting to your current assignments.
