There are several good techniques for making good grades. First, it is very important to attend all the classes. It is sometimes especially difficult to arrive and stay awake during early morning classes. So, preparation is important. You must go to bed early, sleep well, get up and have a good breakfast. Studies show that “breakfast is the most important meal of the day”, providing 50% of the nutritional support that a student needs to succeed.
Carrying a cup of coffee to class is a good addition to breakfast.
Once you arrive, note-taking is very important. Next, it is important to study and review notes immediately after class while the information is fresh. That way you can study the things that you didn’t understand well in class. Allotting time to study after each class prepares you for the quizzes and exams. And studying after each lesson makes the final exam much easier because instead of “cramming” the night before the exam, you only need to do a little review.
It is of course very important to turn in all homework assignments. Homework accounts for 20% or more of the final grade. Lastly, the most important ingredient needed to make good grades is the right attitude. You disposition is of great importance. If you want to make good grades, it is easier to put in the time required to work and study hard. With the appropriate dedication and planning the pathway to good grades is as simple as following a recipe for success.
