Notes are very important tools for studying.
Participation - Be a part of your class. Organization - Don't expect your friends or the teacher to loan you the basics like paper, pens, and pencils. Bring all your equipment. Keep papers in folders or notebooks. Planning - Be responsible for your own schoolwork.
