A Simple Plan.

When faced with a difficult class most students choose avoidance. They don't take it until they absolutely have to. This unfortunately adds to the already fair amount of anxiety they have regarding this class. Anxiety like this sometimes compounded by an unsatisfactory grade from a previous attempt can make passing this class nearly impossible. There is hope. First understand that there is a lot riding on this one class. Just this awareness can help put your effort into perspective. Second develop a simple plan to help yourself get a passing grade. This plan might include arranging your work schedule to allow for more study time for this class. Also, never miss a class session. Never, no matter what. Next, get to every class on time. If it is an 8 am class be there at 8 am. Ready. For this class, this time, get the hand-out or syllabus and actually do what it says. If it includes books and equipment required for the course get the required stuff. Note the dates of important projects and tests for this class. Also note the instructors contact number and office hours, if she has office hours. This is going to be particularly important this term for this class. That's the plan. Get the stuff. Be on time. Never miss a class session. this term, this time, you're gonna pass.
