Number 5: Structure study time

As a student, the most important things you can do to improve your grades are “getting better structured study time, getting help from the teacher, doing home work, reviewing homework, getting outside help from others and not just from school,” said, Byron Hildebrand who majors in English.

Hildebrand continued; “I do ok in class, but I need some outside resources so that I’m able to do better”.

4:Use your time wisely

Richard Garcia English major said, “I would like to take my mind off of pre occupied situations, use time the instructors has given us, use resources at the library or even use resources that you find with friends. Try to stay in a positive atmosphere and just to be self-motivated.

“Thinking about how to maintain my average you have to be able to express it in order to hear yourself and apply what you say”.

“Pretty much practice what you preach”, said Garcia.

Lizbeth Hernandez who majors in biology said, “You could go to the student success center, tutoring, ask the instructor questions after there office hours, study and not go party”.
