1. Frequent short study periods produce better results than "cramming".

2. Review previous sections a little each day.  Try making an index card file of rules, procedures, formulas, strategies, steps, etc.  Make reviewing fun by "shuffling the deck" of index cards and "dealing them out" to see whether or not you can recall the information.  

3. Neatly write out every step of the problem.  If our work is a mess, so is the visual input that is provided to the brain.

4. After  practicing a problem, have someone check the process. If your process is wrong, the more you practice the incorrect steps the harder it will be learn the correct method.

5. Practice as much as possible. Just watching the teacher do the problem does not develop your ability to do the process.  Learning cannot be thought of as a "spectator sport".

6.  Talk to your teacher regarding your  progress, concerns, and goals.  

7.  Find a study partner.  It's always easier to solve problems when someone else is there to work at it with you.  Research has found that students who study in groups perform better than those who study alone.

8.  Label and date your notes from each class discussion.  Do the same with your homework.
