Tips to Becoming a Better Student

College is an experience that one will never forget. It's a time to meet new friends and a time to explore your inner being. Oh yeah and there also is some studying in between. The difference between an average student and a straight A student is the level of commitment and sacrifice. You have to decide where you want to fit in.
I was an average student during my first two years in college, then I became a father and everything changed thereafter. I acquired newfound motivation and my grades seem to dramatically improve. My GPA went from a 2.8 to a 3.89.
I sat in the front of the class or somewhere near that. Sitting in the front has several advantages. First, you hear every single word that emanates from the professor's mouth. This means no more missed assignments or missed lecture content. Second, sitting in the front allows you to have first dibs at questions directed towards the professor or instructor. Now if your buddies raze you for sitting in the front, just tell them that your hearing is not so good.
Another good tip is in regards to class lecture notes. The professor/instructor will ramble off notes at a rapid pace and good students are able to transcribe most of the lecture content. I have a tip to overcome the speedy mouthed teacher. Simply put, write in very basic broken English……….OK, you're probably scratching your head but it works.
