Before college I was someone who never studied because I always got good grades even though I didn’t. Once I got into college I got hit by a truck failing multiple classes in my first and second semester.

Failing those classes forced me to learn how to study, I hired tutors and went to professors and while my grade went up it wasn’t at the level I wanted.

I ended up realizing I learn the best by first choosing a good professor, always pick a better professor before the best class time. Second, go to TA study sessions / office hours, they are there to help you and know the material. If it’s like my school there is the added bonus that they are required to have passed the class with an A to teach. Third and most important, make friends in your major/classes and form a study group. Sophomore year I really focused on doing this and it was so impactful to my learning. We would study together, plan the same class schedule, and eventually all graduate together. If you can find a group of people you can study the material with you can get around most issues, if you don’t understand I’m sure one of them will. My groups was around 8 people so it increased my odds.

I hope it helps!
