Read the material

Write down any questions

Come to class prepared to contribute

Review what we talked about

Explain the process you will follow if you do not understand a topic.

For me it really depends on where I am when I do not understand. If it is when I am reading I would re-read and try to figure it out. If that doesn't help the internet is my friend and I would look up different concepts and read about them. After I would go back to the book and read to see if I understand it.

If I am in class I would raise my hand and ask a question. If I still didn't understand I would talk to the teacher after class and try to get more clarification.

Complete the following statement:

I will reach my goals in this course by completing all assigned work, reading assigned material and doing the best I can.
