1. During class, what are you doing?

Diligently taking copious notes, of course
Recording the lecture so you'll have it for later
Raising your hand -- you can never ask too many questions
Planning your next study group
Highlighting every word, when you're not doodling
Deciding which facts can be boiled down to bullet points
IM'ing your friend in another class

2. Your lecture professor is your total favorite! Why?

She prefers exams to papers
She encourages you to participate
She podcasts her lectures!
She assigns group projects
She diagrams all her theories and lessons on a white board
She doesn't check attendance!
She gives you hours of extra help each week

3.You get a term paper assignment, due in a week. What's next?

A week? Six full days before you have to worry!
Start outlining the paper
Meet with classmates to run your thesis by them
Chart out the topic to brainstorm ideas
Ask the professor to summarize the assignment to be totally clear
Jot down key points you'll want to include in the paper
Plan a related field trip to immerse yourself in the topic

4. Your favorite class is:

A large seminar so you can sit back and listen
You rarely go, so it doesn’t matter
A small one in which you can be heard
In a lab or workshop!
Has LCD projection with plenty of visuals
Self-directed with lots of time for memorization
Full of group sessions with TAs

5. It’s the night before a big test. What are you doing?

Calling up your study group
Brewing the coffee for your all-nighter. You still have six chapters to read!
Reviewing your flash cards
Listening to your lectures a final time on your MP3 player
The same thing you’ve been doing all week: reviewing all of your notes, re-reading the textbook, and taking practice exams
Re-reading your colorful, highlighted notes one last time
Posing questions to your classmates about the subject
