• If it's repeated more than twice it's going to be on the test.
• Do the subject you don't like first, and move towards the easier tasks. You'll last longer and get more done. It is best to study for class with the most credits. 4 and 5 credit classes have the highest tuition and have the most bulk for assignments, and may require a lot of memorization and analysis.
• A very wise professor once said, "How and when to study? Study like there is always going to be an exam the next day. That way when there is, you've been studying for it for weeks."
• Be business-like about your education. If you had a job you would have to go to your job at 9 AM and stay there until 5PM. The rest of the day would be your own time. If you did the same thing in college, you would do great. Go to class, go to the library, study seriously, at 5pm put away the books and go home. It's that simple. Once in a while you might have to work late, just like at a real job, but in general if you were spending 40 hours a week attending to school you would be a Dean's List student. Act like a professional, adult person. Treat your college education as it is like on the job training.
• Consider studying in places that are agreeable and productive for you. For example, consider studying every day in a coffee shop after eating lunch.
• Overactive social life is the main cause for student failure. Two 12 week terms amount to 24 weeks a year out of 52 weeks. Best to socialize in the 28 weeks of the year out of term and mostly focus on study in term.
• If you find your class boring, maybe start a study group to keep you going
• Always be on time. In university, professors wait for no one. The first thing they say could be very important, so do your best to be on time, and never miss classes.
• If you start to do badly, ask your teacher what you need to do to improve

• Do not make staying up late for schoolwork a constant habit. It will make you miserable because you will fall into a vicious cycle of not paying attention in class because you're tired, to not listening, to not doing a project until late, to staying up again.... This circle is very hard to break once you have done it a lot.
• Be a perfectionist. If you want to be the best in the school you have to keep in mind that there are other people who are also striving to be the best, who want to be number one just as badly as you do, maybe even more. When you think you've studied enough to make an A on a test, keep in mind that there's probably a lot of people who studied "enough." If you want to be number one, you have to work the hardest and do the best. Think a few points up on a test doesn't matter? Maybe not, but if you put that much energy into every assignment, you will have a higher GPA than the people who did just enough to make an A or a B, which makes you the best in the school.
• Study hard
• Take some time to write some problems up, or you could ask someone to write them for you. Just remember, it doesn't hurt to go over what you have learned.
• Remove hidden roadblocks. What’s making you avoid working? What’s making your work seem like drudgery rather than joyful? It might have something to do with your beliefs about yourself. Maybe you believe you’re not good enough, smart enough or don’t have enough experience. Question your beliefs about what you can and can’t do.
• Do it the best you can
• You also have to study. Twenty-six or so hours a week, according to professors.
• If something must be neglected (and good planning can usually avoid this), then neglect something other than school.
• At least a quarter of your total assignment time needs to be allocated to research and preparation.
• One of the easiest ways of doing this is working with spider diagrams. For every legal concept, write the basic provisions in the central part of the spider, with supplementary information such as important cases on each ‘leg'. This is a wonderful and visual law school study skill which will not only assist in the cementing of the concept, but will also be useful when it comes to revision time.
• Know your objective. Most teachers tell you the subject of the class, in the beginning. If possible, write down this objective the minute you hear it. What is it that needs to be done today? What will you be learning about? How can you remain alert and focused during this time? Set goals for yourself, and remind yourself of the objective throughout class. This way, you know exactly what you have to do.
• «Donne-toi à fond pour le boulot et ça portera ses fruits. Bosse à fond sans trop t’inquiéter pour la suite. Et si tu te donnes vraiment à fond, il y aura forcément un résultat.?»

C’est tellement vrai, j’y pense tout le temps. Il faut toujours se donner à fond pour son boulot.

• Read the front page of the newspaper, or an online news site, every day. Even though you may not discuss current events with your friends, developing an awareness of the world outside your town is a sign of education and worldliness. Foreign girls know so much more about the world than the average American girl. Think European. Someday, you will travel to other countries. Start building your knowledge now.
• Treat every single person you interact with in the way that you would hope to be treated in the same situation
• Give teachers respect. Don't talk in class. Ask them if they need help passing out papers, etc
• Try to get back to your studying after the break; the break shouldn't be longer than 20 minutes
• Associate your theory with a practice example. If you are studying history try to make a tale related to it. It will help you to know it very well.
• Know your objective. Most teachers tell you the subject of the class, in the beginning. If possible, write down this objective the minute you hear it. What is it that needs to be done today? What will you be learning about? How can you remain alert and focused during this time? Set goals for yourself, and remind yourself of the objective throughout class. This way, you know exactly what you have to do.
• Only you can make yourself bored. The teacher cannot make you bored; you choose to be bored. If you don't choose to be bored, then class will go by more quickly for you.
• Get good grades! Try to spend an hour in the library everyday!
• Impress the teachers. Start to study very hard and keep trying to raise your grades. Ask your teachers what you can do for extra credit. Your teachers will write recommendations for you. Keep that in mind! Become a "do-er" at school which means win the science fair, run for office or organize the school dance. Write good articles for the school newspaper.
• Use your time effectively and efficiently. Do not procrastinate on assignments. Try to make progress every day on what is assigned. For example, if you have a report due in 6 weeks, do not wait until 3 days before it's due to begin working on it. Instead, work on it every day for 30 to 60 minutes. Once you get into it, it will actually be enjoyable seeing the progress unfold versus being stressed out and worried about an important assignment that has been put off and whose due date continuously gets closer and closer
• I can't emphasize this enough: INTRODUIRE YOURSELF TO YOUR PROFESSORS AND GO TO THEIR OFFICE HOURS. This is so important, I'll tell it to you again: INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO YOUR PROFESSORS AND GO TO THEIR OFFICE HOURS. We're nice people. Seriously. And we really like it when someone is interested in our classes.
