1.
Turn up. Seriously. Go to lectures. You’ve got
an expert sitting in front of you telling you what is in the text book (you
know the one you haven’t read yet!)
2.
Read your text book. Or at least the conclusion
page. Most texts nowadays have a page at the end of the book that sums up the
entire chapter. At least read that.
3.
Start your papers at least a week before due
date. This will at least get you brownie points with your parents, tutors,
lecturers. Write out a dot point plan of what you will write, then just write a
paragraph under each dot point. You’ll be half way there.
4.
Learn the key terms that relate to the topic.
Open that text book again and highlight the key terms (some texts have these
listed on the side of the margins to make it super easy for you)
