  • Avoid daydreaming by asking yourself questions about the material as you study it
  • Before lectures, look over the notes of the previous lecture and read the course material pertaining to the lecture so that you can anticipate the main ideas that the instructor will cover

  • Resist distractions by sitting in front of the room away from disruptive classmates and by focusing on the instructor through listening and note taking.
