Also, take advantage of power-point notes. , This is the whole point of taking them in the first place. , These are major parts or your grade, and it's important you do your best on them. , If you have a project, it is better to do them sooner than the day before it is due.
   
   Make a 'gantt' chart or time line on how long you should spend each part of your project on. , Some people seem to do better when they sit in the front of a classroom, or near people they don't talk to so they won't become distracted. , If you don't understand something, don't be afraid to ask or "look dumb." Odds may be that half of your class doesn't understand it either.
