<p>actually now that I think about it I do have some general academic advice. First be sure you’re studying enough; a rule of thumb in college math/science classes is 6-9 hours per week outside the class doing homework, studying, labs, etc. </p>
<p>Not all approaches studying are equally good; student A spending 6 hours a week on a class may learn more than student B because they spend their time differently. Its a funny thing, they never tell you in school how to study effectively even though they grade you on the results of your studying. You can find guides on the web about how to study effectively (google “how to study calculus”, etc), and one book I recommend is called “What Smart Students Know”. It is written by one of the cofounders of the Princeton Review SAT prep service, and aims to do for school what the service did for people taking the SAT.</p>
