It may be hard to believe it, but you can save yourself some serious crash-studying time and help earn great grades by making the most of your time in-class. Instead of catching a few winks of sleep or passing notes to your friends during class, here are a few suggestions for making the most of your class time:
Be There Physically & Mentally
Missing class is the kiss of death, because you then have to spend just as much time as you spent skipping trying to catch up with everyone else in the class who got themselves out of bed on time. First, you have to actually be there PHYSICALLY. But once you're there, it's just as important to be there MENTALLY by focusing on the class and paying attention. If for some reason you absolutely can't be in class, get the notes. Talk to another student who was there. Or even better, schedule a meeting with your teacher so you can sit down and talk about the things you missed.
