I am taking two borderline Grad level courses this semsester which are really hard and I was wondering if anyone had any study tips?
BTW, they are two theology courses. I want to keep my high gpa and I was just wondering how some of you folks study for the upper division, senior level courses.
thank you

The old fashion way by studying and a lot of it. I would read the assigned reading, then check out the sources that author referenced in his writing. Then I would outline the chapters / reading material along with the references and merge my class notes into the outlines. Of course during this process a questions would pop up so I made a few trips to the professor's office for clarification. A lot of work but I all I had to do was review my outlines to prep for finials.
Good Luck

You need to be focused. Find ways to make the courses interesting such as talking about the subject matter with others who are animated with the subject.
Don't rely on them (the university professors) to make the senior level courses motivating and enriching.

Being focused -- knowing that If I did NOT keep my grades up, it was my own fault -- then I would have blown the MONEY I was earning to pay the bills to attend the class in the first place! So for me, the motivation was knowing that I was paying for everything, and there was NO BACKUP available -- I had to make it the first time through.
