<p>@Goldshadow, I mentioned it before you did haha.</p>
<p>Oh wow, can't believe I missed that ha. I'm blind. And you said it much more concisely to boot.</p>
<p>And some professors may give you quiz without notice. You may miss it if you don't go to class.</p>
<p>I....would drop the class.</p>

Not likely in a large introductory biology class, which is the OP's dilemma.</p>
<p>lots of science classes at my school use like, clicker things... everyone has one, and the professor puts a question on the screen, and you click a/b/c/d (multiple choice) and it records your results</p>
<p>... I guess the OP doesn't have this though, but it would be a reason to go to class.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I know what soccerguy's talking about. A few of my classes had those CPS clicker pads. If the the prof uses one of those, then you pretty much have to go to class... unless you can get a friend to do it for you or something.</p>
<p>haha i thought soccerguy meant that it would be a reason to go to class because those things are so fun to play with</p>

lol, grade inflation? </p>
<p>Oh,no. Only a few people can get A or A-.</p>
<p>you're contradicting yourself.
first, you're advicing others to GO TO CLASS, and then next, you're saying that even if you don't attend classes, you can still get an A-, which only few people can get. </p>
<p>do get it?</p>
<p>Can I throw my problem out here as well? Both my professor and T.A. are not native English speakers and are thereby really difficult to understand. I really don't feel comfortable going to office hours just to run into the same language-barrier problem, so should I just go to peer tutoring?</p>
<p>...and to answer your question, I'd agree w/ what GoldShadow suggested.</p>
<p>...OR, I'd still attend every class and just pay attention when necessary. when not, just sit in the lecture room and do something else, such as reading a book. I'm sure you can multitask.</p>
<p>muzicgirl... peer tutoring, or try to get a small group together to go over things.</p>

No,I'm not contradicting myself.
Because I believe I should do better than most students when it comes to math and physics. It's a failure to get a grade other than A.</p>
<p>.........................</p>
<p>Not really, if you go to a top school.</p>
<p>If the prof puts slides online, it's extremely helpful to print those out and bring them to class instead of trying to scribble down random words & diagrams.</p>
