3. Make a list of questions that you may have from the previous day's activities or homework. Try to get all questions resolved before moving on.

5. Stay organized. Punch holes in all of your papers and keep them in the binder.
    
6. Come to class prepared with the appropriate materials such as your text, loose-leaf paper, and something to write with. You wouldn't want to miss part of the class because you are busy looking around for a pencil!
