class size can be one of the biggest differences between high school and college. i was always so intimidated when i heard about huge lectures full of hundreds of students. i always wondered how i could possibly learn anything in that type of environment. if you also feel like you may struggle with this typical college class setting, read on for some tips on how to not only survive, but thrive.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
don\u2019t worry, i\u2019m not saying it\u2019s mandatory to be front row everyday. but try not to sit in the very back. you\u2019ll be more focused and less tempted by distractions the closer you sit to the front. plus, it\u2019ll be a lot easier to see and hear your professor.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
if you\u2019re scared to ask a question in front of the whole big group, wait till after class ends and approach the professor one on one. they\u2019ll usually be pretty happy to help. don\u2019t be intimidated.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
if the pace of the class is too fast for you or you\u2019re having trouble focusing, find out if your professor posts the lecture slides online. if you print them out beforehand, it will be a lot easier to take notes because you won\u2019t have to frantically copy down something that they\u2019ve already written out for you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
in bigger classes where you have limited access to help from your teacher, study buddies are crucial. you can ask them any questions you have that you weren\u2019t able to ask the professor. plus you can study together for your first college midterm, which is a very stressful time.<\/p>\n
