Make sure you learn the material the FIRST time in class. If you still don’t understand, you can ask questions or go home and re-read the chapter or watch YouTube videos.


Do not ignore it and let other material pile up because then you won’t understand anything after.


READ the syllabus and figure out what’s important and what’s not. I cannot stress this enough.


In one of my business classes, she assigned a 10 page project due near the end of the semester, now you might think you have a lot of time but you don’t. Everyone in the class agreed to do it but I didn’t why? It was only worth 10% of my grade and if you think about it its a huge waste considering I have 5 other classes to worry about. I took the 90% in her class no doubt about it.


EVALUATE your professor and see what is he about.


If it’s one of those professors who just keep on talking and talking for the whole class period about non-sense. I just sit in the back and start doing homework for my other classes. Other people just sit there bored out of their minds, don’t they realize they’re wasting valuable time?


ITS NOT OVER TILL YOU SAY ITS OVER!


Anything is possible so don’t give up so quickly. In my accounting class, I got a 19 on the first exam it had a 70% fail rate. I was seriously thinking about dropping because how is it possible to get a 70% fail rate on the 1st exam. Anyway one of my friends dropped but I stood with it and through consistent reviewing I was able to get an 82 on the second exam.

REMEMBER when you drop a class there is 0% chance of you passing, if you stick with it your percentage increases to 50%. You miss 100% of the opportunities you don’t take!
