Don't wait until a test is near. The new material builds on the previous sections, so anything you don't understand now will make future material difficult to understand. Use the Resources You Have Available Ask questions in class. You get help and stay actively involved in the class. Visit the Instructor's Office Hours.
Instructors like to see students who want to help themselves.
Ask friends, members of your study group, or anyone else who can help. So don't be reluctant to ask a classmate. Go to the Math Help Sessions or other tutoring sessions on campus. Find a private tutor if you can't get enough help from other sources. All students need help at some point, so be sure to get the help you need.
