Like any other class, thorough and timely preparation yield excellent results. Read, listen, and dare to think. Appropriate preparation will make class lectures far more meaningful and understandable.
All professors have certain ideas they want to get across to the students.
Attend class regularly . Cutting class in a course in which lecture material directly leads to roughly HALF of all test questions is academic suicide. Remember, most of the material covered in lectures is NOT covered in the textbook or in the required readings. Ask questions before, during, or after class. Ask about lecture items, the readings, the textbook, the cases, or related topics.
