Before Attending Class: Identify your goals and your strengths and weaknesses. Identify your campus "help" resources to build on your strengths and work on overcoming your weaknesses. Schedule regular study times for each class and build a study plan, add additional time to study for tests. Allow 1-2 hours of study time for each hour of class, then adjust your study time as needed. Arrange for texts and required materials before classes meet. Go prepared and attend every class. Prepare from your syllabus and read the relevant chapters in your text prior to class. Don't miss quizzes or tests. Use your campus "help" resources all the way through the term, not just before important tests.
