I hope that some of this may come in handy:
Sit toward the front of class. You are less likely to be distracted than you would in back of the class.
If you don't understand material discussed in class, or you are not doing as well as you want, then please inform the instructor. Getting discouraged, avoiding discussing a bad grade may only cause the problem to linger. By talking to me immediately, you may fix the problem quickly and as a result may enjoy the class more.
Study every day. If you read your textbook and review your notes, even for 15-30 minutes a day, you will find that preparing for tests is much less painful, and the results are much better. Last minute studying or "cramming", even for several hours, just really isn't as effective as studying regularly, a little bit each day. The best time to study is within 2-4 hours after the class. Reviewing the day's material at this time helps you to remember more permanently what happened in class that day.
Find colleagues to study with. Ask each other review questions, compare homework answers, and quiz each other on the material. Studying together will usually help you to focus more on the material (often when I study my mind is apt to wander on to other things), find alternative explanations, and discover if you've forgotten to study any material.
What to do when you study? Here are some things to do:
Review your class notes
Read the assigned text
Recopy class notes, adding info you may have left out or that you picked up from reading the text
Answer review questions
Make up your own review questions, possibly for a study partner to answer
What makes teachers happy? Here are a few really easy things:
Be punctual. It's discouraging to watch students arrive late and leave class early. It is a courtesy to warn your instructor advance of a late arrival or early departure.
Make eye contact. Looking somewhere else gives the impression you aren't listening.
Participate in class. Even asking to repeat or clarify something is appreciated.
Use the instructor's name. Everyone likes it when people know your name.
Submit work on time.
Follow guidelines exactly on assignments, and turn in neat, legible work.
Request explanations. Believe it or not, a lot of teachers like it when you ask for help.
Thank the teacher.
Good Luck!

It's not your fault. We all learn differently. I was not that great at catching the lesson when I heard it either, but that didn't stop me from graduating at the top of my class. You have to find what helps you learn. For me, I had to read the book and work out every example myself, not just listen to someone talk about it.
Also, it's a good idea to read the book before the lesson is given. That way all the crazy things the Prof. is talking about will make some sense. Bottom line though, to be a good student you have to work very hard. You can be as good as you want to be if you are willing to sacrifice.

You have to figure out if you are Auditory, visual or hands on orientated. It took me years to realize that I can read the book and do problems or questions from the book for stuff to stick. Think about whether taking notes help or if hearing the teacher lecture, reading the book or doing the assignment helps. Pick two and go with those. You might need to reinforce your studying by adding another method. There is a test that will tell you the best way for you to study. My guess is the school you attend can help you with it. Good luck, It took me twenty + years to figure this out.

I may not know much i'm almost in high school, but I got skipped because I am extremely smart, and my advice to you, is to stay focused and don't let anything distract you, take plenty of notes, ask questions ( don't be afraid) and if you missed a couple of notes, ask a classmate for it.
Good Luck

It's probably anxiety. You might be trying too hard. Start with the basics:enough sleep, healthy food and deal with issues you may have at home that may be keeping you on edge. I'm sure you're smart just overwhelmed. Good luck to you

Take good notes. Never miss a class, unless you are dead. Talk with other students in the class. Most important: go to the professor's office hours and talk with the prof, even if it is just BSing. This is how you get to know your professors and they get to know you. Got me through Chemistry and biochemistry.

I went Vegetarian Earth Day '09. i presumed it grew to grow to be into going to be not difficulty-unfastened, yet i grew to grow to be into interpreting Gene Bauer's Farm Sanctuary, and in basic terms have been given fed up with the way animals are dealt with, so i complete up going Vegetarian (after the 1st financial disaster). the basically good time I had tried to pass Vegetarian grew to grow to be into mutually as i grew to grow to be into 11 and that i had no option to devour meat once you evaluate that's what grew to grow to be into for dinner, so I gave up. as nicely i'm plenty happier now that i'm Veg. i think of like each animals look like dogs or cats to me, so I in basic terms stopped eating it. I although devour fish (i'm Pesco-Veg) each so oftentimes although, yet not too plenty, because of the fact i'm getting exhilaration from veggie burgers, and tofu (attempt tofurkey!). I by no skill craved meat with the aid of reality contained interior the commencing up up i might continuously examine on the thank you to stay a healthful Vegetarian existence form, plus you're waiting to be waiting to prefer to look on the bigger photograph. with the help of using not eating meat, you're reducing plenty pollution, and waste. Water is used to extreme parts (tens of millions of gallons), infinite animals are wasted away. they are not getting the suited care mutually as they are ill, they improve into downed animals, and that they are overwhelmed and dealt with poorly =(
