Also, think of this as a time to help each other out and ask questions. Chances are, if you don't understand something, somebody else can explain it to you and vice versa.
The best place to find people for your study group is the front row (another reason to sit there). Studies have found that people who sit in the front row do better in school either because they are already smart or they just focus better. This also helps if you're shy because the people in the front might be nicer than the people in the back row (ok, this is not a proven fact but I've met the nicest people here).
V. Go to office hours
Universities require teachers to have office hours for a reason: because they help you, the student. And yet, a lot of students forget about this important opportunity. In some cases, the office hours may not fit a student's schedule who works part-time. In another case, students may be just plain lazy because going to office hours requires extra time and effort in their part. If you are one of these students think of these benefits for a moment:
- You can ask the teacher whatever topic or homework you're having trouble with
- Your teacher will remember you...brownie points! (this is especially beneficial if your teacher awards extra points during grading time
- Your teacher may unknowingly ask you some future test questions (I used to have a teacher who did this intentionally)
- You would be able to tell how your teacher wants essay questions answered in the exam by how he/she answered your question
Don't take office hours for granted. You paid for this benefit so why not use it?
