Stay on task during class. You will learn and retain the material much better if you are paying attention to your teacher in class.^[1] You should strive each day to make the best possible use of your class time and face-to-face interaction with your teacher. In order to do this, you will need to make sure you are free from distractions.
- Show up to class on time and prepared to learn. You will have a hard time succeeding in class if you always show up 3 minutes late and forget to bring a pencil. A little planning goes a long way, both in terms of your learning potential and how your teacher perceives your work ethic.
- Leave your phone and any other potential sources of distraction in your backpack or book bag during class and don't take it out until class is over. This will keep you from being tempted to take your attention away from class.
- Sit toward the front of the room or close to your teacher's desk if you have the option. This will help keep you from talking to your friends during class or doodling in your notebook while your teacher is talking. If you are assigned to a seat in the back but find yourself getting too easily distracted, ask your teacher to move you.
Ask questions in class. Your greatest resource for doing well in class is your teacher. Not only is she a trained and licensed educator, but she is the one grading you. If you encounter a topic or assignment during class that confuses you, speak up! Find an appropriate time to raise your hand or speak to your teacher one-on-one so you don't leave class without having your question resolved.
- Asking questions during class shows your teacher you care about learning the material and are making an effort to do well in her class. This is guaranteed to be appreciated by your teacher, so long as your questions are relevant to the subject and not inappropriate.
- If you don't have an opportunity to ask your question as soon as it comes to you, write it down so you can ask your teacher later. Depending on your teacher's preferences, you can even send her an email about it so she can respond to you directly or during your next class meeting.
- Remember that if you have a question about something, you probably aren't the only one. In this sense, asking questions in class is almost like doing your classmates a favor that helps you out, too!
Do all your assigned work. One of the most common reasons students receive poor marks in school is that they don't complete the required coursework. Fortunately, this is also one of the easiest problems to fix. It is very unlikely that you won't pass your class if you do every assignment and turn it in on time.
- Effort counts. If you turn in work you clearly didn't make an effort on, this could count against you because it will show your teacher that you don't care enough about the class to put in the work.
- Go the extra mile once in a while. This means doing more than the bare minimum on assignments or projects. For example, if you are assigned a report that requires a minimum of two sources, try to find at least three. This might earn you a better score, and at the very least will demonstrate to your teacher that you are willing to work for your grade.
Complete assigned readings before class. Teachers often design lessons with the assumption that their students have already been introduced to the material through assigned readings. You will get the most out of class if you read about the topics prior to attending class.^[2] This will also allow you to come to class with any clarifying questions you may have.
- Devote enough time to reading that you are able to at least absorb the main points. If you wait until you are already tired on the night before class to begin reading, you will struggle to get through it and probably won't remember it very well.^[3]
- Take notes on the main points of the reading and review them before class. This will prepare you to grasp the lecture material more easily and will reinforce the important points of the topic(s) you read about the night before.
- While you are reading, think of questions you can ask your teacher in class about the material in the textbook. This can help you link important concepts together and will help you absorb what you've read. This also shows your teacher that you are doing the assigned reading before class and taking an active role in your learning.
- When reading, looking for keywords in the texts can give you a strong sense of what is being conveyed in any particular text. Speed reading isn't going to help you take in all the words you're reading, but it will probably help you understand the material being covered more in-depth.
Study for exams. Never try to take an exam without studying. Social studies courses often present lots of concepts, dates, places, and names, which can be difficult to remember. You will perform much better on tests if you devote significant time and effort to studying the material several weeks in advance of the exam date.^[4]
- Ask your teacher for a study guide. If she gives you one, use it to help you prepare for your upcoming exam. You can go through the topics on the guide, one by one, and make sure you understand each one. Ask your teacher for help with particularly difficult topics.
- Form a study group. If you have friends in your class, ask them to help you study the course material. This can be a useful way to combine your knowledge with that of others in the class. As they say, two heads are better than one!
- Quiz yourself often. You might not understand the material as well as you think you do simply from doing the assigned reading. By quizzing yourself on a range of topics in the days following their introduction in class, you can identify topics you need to work on -- and you'll learn the material better.^[5]
- Match your study style to the exam format. Ask your teacher about the structure and format of the exams so you know what to expect. Make sure you're not limiting your studying to memorizing definitions if your exam will be all essay format, for example.
