ü Come to class organized – read through the chapter first before going into the lecture, this is the major that differ A’s from B’s.
ü Keep the curious mind – as you glance through the chapter, try to suggest a list of questions and also find answers to those questions during lectures. Also write down the questions on the instructor’s lecture as it goes.
ü Note down your own lecture notes – Take brief notes during lectures and complete them soon after class when it’s still fresh in memory.
ü Rewrite you own headings as questions – The questioning headings and subheadings aggravate your vital thinking and intensify your understanding.
ü Make a master list of questions – Try to find answers to those questions during lectures and reading.

ü take a seat in the front of the class – This will keep your center of attention better and engage more. It is what smart students do.
