First, in order to pass your classes you need to get organized. Get a three ring binder and use dividers to label each content the teacher provides, for example: Class work, Homework, Test, and etc. Once you do this for all of your classes, this will sharpen your organization skills and help you to think better.
Step2
Always, sit up in front of the class to show how confident you are. Be sure to have all of the necessary supplies, such as: Paper, Pencils, Highlighters, and Pens. Keep all of your important documents in enclosed inside the binder, such as: Syllabus, Newsletter, and etc.
Step3
If you are in doubt about the subject you are learning, go to your instructor, tell them your problem and come up with a solution where as you and your instructor can come to an agreement to pass the class. Always ask for help when you are not aware of anything that has been taught on that particular day or semster.
Step4
Take notes on key subjects, vocabulary, and the instructor's important points. Write a summary of what you had learned on that particular day, so that you may recall what was taught and be ahead of the class.
Step5
If you have massive homework assignments, be sure to break them down on piece of paper and list them in order for 30 minutes each. Depending on the amount of homework you have, you can get all of this done in less than 2 hours. If you have less Homework assignments, it should take no more than one hour.
