There is no doubt that every college students has wondered what every single one of their classes will be like. Some courses may cause you to feel a little bit nervous and some courses may make you feel like you can take the class in your sleep (I don't recommend that). However, each student still needs to approach each class with high expectations. Starting off with a positive attitude and making a good impression is an absolute must. Here are some great suggestions to being successful in each classroom and will get you headed in the right direction:
Be on time or early. This will allow you to find a great seat, talk to your professor before class starts, and even allow you to look over your notes before that "pop quiz."
Be prepared and organized. You'll more than likely be taking notes in each and every class. As long as you're organized you will know where your things are at all times and you won't have to ask your neighbor to borrow a pen (you're in college now).
Get to know your professor. Just as much as they want to get to know you, you should want to get to know them. Therefore, you will be comfortable with talking to them one on one about papers, exams, and even catching up on life events.
GO TO CLASS. If you want a good grade don't be lazy. Get out of bed and make the day count. Be willing and open to learning new things even if you aren't crazy about the class.
Ask questions. Your questions will never get answered if you don't ask the question. There are no such things as dumb questions. So, don't be afraid to ask that some question over and over again until you completely understand it. Your professors and peers are there for a reason. Let them help you.
Turn off your cell phone. Texting Mr. or Mrs. right now will not help you get an A on that paper or exam. They can wait.
