Study Tips!

1. Once you get your syllabus, highlight important test dates and quizzes.

2. Find a study zone, a place that will be your dedicated work station.

3. Try to read chapters ahead of time. Use class as a way to "backfill" information or ask the professor questions for clarification. 

4. Familiarize yourself with the tutoring system at your school early on, just in case.

5. Get ahold of your professor's office hours for help and familiarity.
