  3. Identify some serious students in each class and get to know them. Get their phone numbers in case you have questions or need help during the term.
  4. Copy everything the instructor writes on the board. This is especially true of examples, solutions, outlines, and definitions.
  5. Organize and index your notes with colored tabs. If notes are allowed on any exam, you'll be ahead of the game.
  6. Do not try to write down every word the tutor/teacher says listen only for the main points/ideas.

  8. Repetition is a clue that an important point is being made.
  9. Think, react, reflect, and and ask questions. Actively participate
