 * The obvious: **
 * 1) Go to class every day.
 * 2) Be on time for class.
 * 3) Read and understand the course syllabus.
 * 4) Do all the assigned reading, by the time it is due.
 * 5) Take part in class discussion.
 * 6) Takes notes during class.
 * 7) Revise all papers.
 * 8) Print your drafts and proofread from the hard copy.
 * 9) Follow directions carefully and precisely.


 * The less obvious: **


 * 1) Sit near the front of the classroom, or where the instructor can see you clearly.
 * 2) Become an expert on the course grading system (see number 3, above).
 * 3) Come to each class session with a question about the material
 * 4) Visit the instructor during office hours.
 * 5) Study for tests over as long a period as possible.
 * 6) Take notes recording your thoughts and reactions as you're doing the course reading--not after.
 * 7) Write in your textbooks--highlight, underline, jot marginal notes.
 * 8) After all assigned readings and all class sessions, write answers to these questions:
 * What was the point?
 * What am I supposed to learn from it?
 * Why does it matter?
