Study Tips
or How to Succeed in College!
Dealing
with Instructors and tough classes.
Go talk with your instructors! They will have posted
office hours and this is a good time to meet with them
(don’t forget to fill out an interpreter request
form!) Explain to them if you are having difficulty
in the class and talk with them about ways to improve.
DO NOT wait until midterms to go talk with them…
instead, see them early and often! Making sure your
instructor knows your name and who you are will be a
big help!
What irritates instructors?
Sleeping in class. Excuses. Arriving Late.
Not going to class. Lack of responsibility. Not asking questions!
Not reading the syllabus. Not handing in work on time.

Memory Tips
Make your own flash cards! If you have to memorize
formulas, information or vocabulary, flash cards are
a great way to test yourself.
Highlight important information in
your textbook and pay extra attentions to words or
phrases that are in bold.
Make up acronyms or mnemonics to
recall information (i.e. Please Excuse My Dear Aunt
Sally = Parentheses first, then Exponents, then Multiplication,
Division, Addition, and Subtraction).
Succeeding in Class
Read the material BEFORE you go to class. This way,
you will recognize new vocabulary and have a better
idea of what will be discussed in class.
