  1. Do all your assigned reading BEFORE your classes

  2. Take a look at any assignment/problem sets/papers THE DAY THEY ARE HANDED OUT. Knock off any easy problems early. Take a stab at the more difficult problems and make notes about what difficulties you had/

  3. Go to all your recitations. Don’t blow them off. Your TA is your life-line. If you don’t like your TA, find another recitation section to attend if possible.

  4. Ask your TA in recitation about the difficulties you have with the problem set.

  5. Attend the office hours of your TA and your professor. The TA office hours are probably more important.

  6. Don’t put work off until Sundays. Do some on Friday afternoon/evening and some on Saturday. Nothing more stressful and depressing than starting work on Sunday and realizing how much work you have ahead of you.
