STUDY TIPS FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE SEMESTER:
-
Find a study zone - a place that will be your work station.

Join and/or start a group chat or study group for difficult classes. Align yourself with students that have a strong understanding of the material.

Try to read chapters ahead of time. Use class as a way to “backfill” info or clarify misunderstandings.

Familiarize yourself with the tutoring system in your school just in case.

Get ahold of your professors office hours for help and familiarity.
