Problem: Article: One of the best ways to improve your chances of success is to show up for class on time every day. This will help ensure that you learn the material, turn in your assignments, and have the opportunity to ask your instructor about anything you're unclear on. Students who miss a lot of class are statistically less likely to perform well in that class. [citation needed] If you absolutely must miss class due to an emergency, make sure you borrow someone's notes and go over everything you missed. You can also ask the teacher what you missed the next day. If you're frequently absent or tardy, your teacher/instructor will notice. You might lose points or even fail the class if you receive too many missed classes or late entries. In addition, showing up to class on time every time shows your instructor that you're serious. If you're struggling and you come to class every day, your instructor may be more willing to help you work through whatever you're not understanding. . Rather than trying to capture every word on paper, focus on the parts of the lecture that will help you the most when you're at home studying. You can't realistically notate every single thing that gets said during a math lecture. There's so much back-and-forth between the teacher and the students, and a lot of time is devoted to solving problems on the board. Read the material that will be covered before attending class. Take notes as you read, too. Focus your note-taking efforts on any material that you're not familiar with or that you find confusing. Ask questions if you're unclear about anything in the material or anything from the previous night's homework. Any problems your instructor takes the time to write out on the board are probably very important. These problems are likely based on the ones you'll need to solve on the exam. Some problems solved in class may even be taken directly from the exam. Cover up the answer at home and rewrite the problem on a blank sheet of scrap paper. Try to solve the problem without checking the solution until you've answered it. If you're having a hard time with the sample problems from class, you'll probably struggle with the homework and tests. Talk to your instructor about what you're doing wrong, and bring your papers to show how you attempted to solve it at home so he or she can tell where you went wrong. In addition to the problems your instructor puts on the board, you should pay close attention to anything that will need to get memorized. Most math problems require you to work through an equation, but some equations depend on your knowledge of various components. At the very least, you should be writing down and memorizing any of the following that your instructor discusses: Definitions Theorems Formulas Derivatives Any other information that you'll need to remember in order to solve a given equation The best way to avoid falling behind is to talk to your instructor as soon as you realize that you need help. Most math courses build progressively off of material that was established earlier in the course, so if you don't understand something this week, you probably won't understand much material in the coming weeks either. Ask your instructor if you can meet after class. If not, you may have to schedule office hours. You can also try emailing your instructor to let him/her know that you need some help and would like to set up a meeting. Keep your emails professional and polite and your professor will almost certainly make time for you.
Summary: Attend every class and show up on time. Take effective notes during class Write out sample problems your instructor does on the board. Make a list of things you'll need to memorize from the lecture. Talk to your instructor outside of class if you're struggling.

Problem: Article: Aim for many quick conversations instead of one long one, at first. If you want to be flirtatious and get a girl interested in getting to know you back, try to talk to her regularly. Talk in the hall during passing period at school. Exchange a few quick sentences, then say, "Talk to you later." Always establish that you'll talk again soon. This will help to ensure that you're thinking about her, and you'll both be thinking about each other. One of the best ways to get a girl to open up more to you is to be a good listener. Focus on being a good listener. Show that you're interested in what she has to say. Don't dominate the conversation. Ask a question instead of launching into a story. Look at her while she talks and nod your head to show that you're paying attention. After she finishes, summarize what she said and use her name while you talk. This helps to show that you're giving her your personal attention. Eye contact is very important in establishing a good conversation. If you want to get to know a girl better, practice making better eye contact while you're speaking and while she's speaking. If you struggle to keep eye contact, or it makes you feel awkward, then practice. When you watch TV, practice holding the gaze of the TV actors as long as possible, or practice picking a spot on the face near the eyes, like the nose, the eyebrow, or another spot to hold your gaze. . If you want someone to open up to you, put them at ease by smiling. Even if you're feeling nervous, or feeling serious, or feeling the serious feelings about this girl, you need to relax yourself and relax her by flashing those pearly whites. Make your flirty talking face a smile. Even if you don't want to get to know this girl better romantically, it's still good to establish that you like talking to her and you enjoy her presence. A smile goes a long way in doing just that. It's important to make sure you're not bugging someone by approaching them and asking questions. Make sure that your presence is ok by learning to read a girl's body language. If she's not into talking, she'll display some of the following body language, which means you should just end the conversation and leave her alone: Crossed arms Frowning Looking down and avoiding eye contact A furrowed brow or confused face Turning away from you Very brief answers to questions If you're nervous every time you strike up a conversation with a girl, learn to calm yourself down in the moment. Be as natural as possible. Keep it simple and straightforward by keeping the conversation short. Lots of times, you'll be nervous because you think you won't have anything to talk about, or you'll say something dumb. We'll cover that in the next section.
Summary:
Have lots of short conversations first. Listen when she speaks. Make eye contact. Smile to put her at ease Read her body language. Relax.
