Advice

1. Do some homework at a fixed time and in a fixed (quiet) place every day.
2. Study with other people.
3. Know every definition. For every definition, know an example of something that satisfies it, as well as an example of something that doesn't.
4. Read ahead.
5. For every section, try to identify its main point. So, if someone asks you, "Hey, what's the main point of Section n?" you will have an answer.
