Oliver, it's been a few years but lets see... After graduating in the top 75% of my high school class was lucky & found a girl that taught me how to study.
1- do read the material for the day BEFORE the class starts 2- take good notes & ask clarification questions, after all class is your second time though the material. 3- transcribe your notes into readable thoughts before you do any then else that night 4- do #1 5- do all homework 6- time left in the day? PARTY it is college. Oh try to avoid sitting around in the computer lab waiting for your punch cards to process. Yea I got my first calculator my senior year. +-/X was all it did. I have sent 5 of my own freshman off to college, those that followed my advice had almost 4.00gpa. I'd like to think it worked for them too. One other thing, find a way to not take a class with more than 30-40 students in it. Intro Geology for geology majors is more fun & interesting than for gen Ed and the tests are just as easy.
