- Sit in the front of the classroom. Why?
| |
• |
You get more attention for the instructor. |
| |
• |
It's easier to get help during an exam. |
| |
• |
It's easier to pay attention -- less classroom distractions. |

Thus, It's easier to pay attention to the material being presented. |

- Do not miss the first and the last minutes of class. You usually receive vital information from the instructor at these times. This is the time when work is assigned, and reminders are given out.
- Zero absences improves grades. Professor Claude Olney of Arizona State University, a study skills guru, surveyed some of the classes and found that the "A" students missed an average of .5 days of class, while the "C" students missed an average of 4.5 days.
- Don't be afraid to ask questions of the faculty. Utilize office hours if you need extra help or explaining. Office hours are a good way to meet your instructor and help your advisor match your name with your face.
- If the instructor offers an extra credit project for your course make the extra credit mandatory. It could be the difference between an "A" and a "B". Ask the instructor if there will be extra credit and then DO IT!
- Try to get reading lists early.
