<p>If you are behind on a class, what steps do you take to get caught up?</p>
<p>What if you are WAY behind on reading, do you read in depth and take notes or just skim everything?</p>
<p>I clearly ask this because I am way behind in one class.</p>
<p>It is also helpful to for others in the same situation to know how to get caught up when you feel like you can't. </p>
<p>So pretty much, just give your tips here.</p>
<p>I would skim the book and read someone else’s notes at the same time. It helps.</p>
<ol>
<li>Procrastinate a little more</li>
<li>Just sit down and cry and/or pout</li>
<li>Consider taking notes and outlining</li>
<li>Realize that there is no time for taking notes and outlining</li>
<li>Get a pen or highlighter and start actively reading from the beginning - highlighting, underlining, notes in book, etc.</li>
<li>Realize that it’s going too slow</li>
<li>Start skimming the middle with only reading a few leading and ending paragraph sentences</li>
<li>Read the end or conclusion thoroughly</li>
<li>Look over whatever nonsense I happened to highlight or underline</li>
<li>Go back to read the middle if there’s time</li>
</ol>
<p>That’s essentially what I do :p. Of course, I’m sure you could find a more efficient way…</p>
<p>One thing I’ve found out is to NEVER, EVER pull an allnighter EVER again. Not worth it whatsoever.</p>
<p>In fact, 2/3 of that night was counterproductive. By 5 AM, I was just gone… Throughout that day, I was basically a zombie.</p>
<p>I do a lot of skimming. I read the book, highlight important things, write down said important things, read them out loud, and then read them silently. That way my brain gets the same important information in a variety of ways. </p>
<p>It’s all that works for me - I’m not a big studier.</p>
<p>Randomly google and try to find the main points/key ideas.</p>
<p>I do this for all readings. I’ve been in college for 15 months now and haven’t read more than 300 pages in total, the majority of that being sparknotes/wiki articles on my actual assignments. </p>
<p>Oh and I have a 3.85 thanks to calculus, the one class you don’t have to read for.</p>
<p>Ok, Ok, I have to be honest. I have used a service that everyone told me not to but it has worked for me. It has freed up my time and get passing grades. [Unload</a> Your Homework Here](<a href=“http://www.lastminutehomework.com%5DUnload”>http://www.lastminutehomework.com) It helped me get caught up because I am the worst writer. Hey but maybe I will post a thread about it to see what people think.</p>
<p>I don’t get behind.</p>

<p>are you kidding me?</p>
<p>^^ Oh geezus</p>
<p>Wikipedia derp</p>
<p>Gotta read the material so you know it, which sometimes means simply reading (no note-taking or sample problems while reading). Then getting caught up on sample problems and grading yourself. Set aside time. Four hours a day, break it into one-hour chunks.</p>
<p>I wikipedia everything on the study guide, or in the event that there isn’t one, everything on the syllabus. Works reasonably well.</p>
<p>How did I get caught up? I studied longer, re-worked more examples from the book, and asked the professor should an impasse arise.</p>
<p>The final grade was a B.</p>
<p>I don’t. I drop the class before it kills me.</p>
<p>Keep an eye on rymd - he’s going to go far.</p>
