Re: Advice for college

Show up to class & answer questions if you can - Popular belief says you are just a number, but if your professor takes attendance, and ask for participation do this it may be the difference in on of those borderline grade situations.
Good luck.

This is huge. My formula throughout college was to:
1. show up to class
2. sit in the front row
3. participate
4. take good notes
5. review that days notes each afternoon or evening
6. read most of the assigned text - before class... this is how you participate
As long as I kept up with this formula I always did well and had lots of time on my hands to party, ski, hike, travel, whatever.
Reviewing for tests with this formula mostly consists of going over the notes from class once or twice. I always found that information the professor chose to highlight is far more likely to find its way onto an exam than random bits from the text.
