• Read syllabus

Reading your syllabus is very important. This contains the due dates for all assignments in each class. The syllabus will help you stay on track.

• Take notes

Notes are very important because they will help you study for your exams. You will also need them for your final.

• Ask questions

If you don’t understand your assignment contact your professor. This will help you achieve an A.

• Show up to class

Not showing up to class will make you behind. It will also lower your grade. Most class attendance is at least 10% of your grade.

• Prioritize

Prioritize your academics. Schedule a time for your homework. If you have assignments to do, complete them before hanging out with friends.
