With classes beginning again, it’s important to get ahead. The way you start your semester can have an effect on the class at the very end. Here are some ways to ensure your academic success.
1. Research your professor
If any of your friends have had classes with your professor, ask them what he or she is like. Going on RateMyProffesors.com is a great way to see if your professor is hard, assigns a lot of work, etc. Researching your professor beforehand will give you a head start in the class; if the professor picks her favorites on the first day of class, you can be sure to get on her good side, or if he doesn’t mind your being late as long as you bring him a coffee, you can pick one up for him. Either way, it’s a great method.
