Here are 5 simple study-smart behaviours to improve your grades in my course(s):
  1. Spend time on my course.
    Devote an appropriate amount of time and effort to the course, attend all lectures, field trips and assignments, and read the text and internet/web material.
    You never know when you will pick up an intellectual gem!

  2. Manage that time
    Schedule your study time so that you master the material presented in each class before the beginning of the next class.

  3. Interact with your classmates.
    Share information and study tips with your classmates and regularly study and collaborate with them.

  4. Interact with your instructors.
    Interact with the GTA's and with your professors, both in the classroom and out of it; get to know us personally - we can be quite reasonable!

  5. Spend time on campus.
    Immerse yourself in this academic environment, especially EngSoc and related WerSoc activities, and other student associations, perhaps take a leadership role in them.
